I live near a busy highway with rumble strips, and I am constantly having to decide whether to ride on the nasty shoulder or take my chances with the cars. Facing that on a 1200K would be a real challenge!<BR/><BR/>- DavidDavid Bauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132726212271964397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355690962321926614.post-28892623064786595822008-07-29T04:03:00.000-07:002008-07-29T04:03:00.000-07:00Excellent write up!ancien (ahn see yi'n) - A vet...Excellent write up!<BR/><BR/>ancien (ahn see yi'n) - A veteran. Originally a male Paris-Brest-Paris finisher, this term has now come to describe a randonneur who has successfully finished some other 1200-kilometer randonnée.<BR/><BR/>Sleep deprivation is an annoying anchor on one's will and attitude. I might guess it is one of the strongest factors why randonneurs declare no desire to repeat their adventure in the first weeks after their success. One's spirit for adventure and challenge may take longer to recover than bodily wear and tear.<BR/><BR/>Congrats!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678152833056074628noreply@blogger.com
