[OrRando] How much is too much?

Well, here are my opinions, FWIW. Thanks for asking.

I like the variety. The Fast Flat SIR 400km of this spring was great. The
difficult, almost too difficult (for me) SIR 400km from Yakima to Stevens
Pass and back was great. The too difficult (for me) 1000km was great.
Gravel? I hate the stuff for my rando bike - it can run 28mm width tires,
maybe 32's w/o fenders; not enough for any distance over gravel (assuming I
want to average more than 9mph). Dirt's fine so long as it's not raining.
