You have no idea how many times I've thought precisely that. I told the missus on the weekend I'm fucking sick of this shit and racing the 24 is just a waste of a couple of days we could be exploring the west coast.
only you can weigh up the ego (recognition/reward) drivers that fuel your competitive cycling desire, but perhaps this activity has reached maturity, and it's time to explore new avenues
yeah, sack the 24 off and go on a bender!
