I'm curious what stops people and what *has* stopped people but you found a fix for.
First of all, this: "you've finished all your work and have no time restrictions" has not existed in a long, long time ... maybe 2012.

Secondly, even as recently as August 13, 2016 I did ride all day. Rowan and I cycled a 400 km randonnee. I've done heaps of them and longer rides over the years ... just not recently.

Then on 22 March 2018, Rowan had a workplace accident which resulted in a severe traumatic brain injury. Since then, we haven't ridden very far and it has to do with Rowan's fatigue.
