2013 Cycling Goals

[deanE]

Aim to do more forum/club/ctc/audax rides
Thinking of LEL 2013, booked the holidays so at least semi serious
Aim to get at least a week in France, either Cingles on the roadie or touring Calais to Spain with Berty Bassett of this parish (holiday/ funds and swmbo dependent)

Will use one of these goals to raise a shed load of cash for abandoned Greyhounds, aim to hopefully raise more than this years 2K total

what’s the link to your greyhound charity? Perhaps we can help you with at least one of your aims.

Hi Dean thanks for the thought, this year cycled the Alps and Pyrenees for SOL's emergency kennel fund and with the aid of cyclechatters raised a little over £2k, unfortunately my link as now expired but donations to SOL can be made securely here: https://mydonate.bt.com/charities/sighthoundsonline and I will besetting up a new page for my next fundraiser when I finalise details

My goal is to not make any plans, because I very much doubt I'll stick to them......

Thinking of doing the Edinburgh - St. Andrews ride on my single speed. Not sure if this is such a wise thing to do, still thinking about it.

Other than that keep cycling, stay off the buses. Get my wee man into cycling (more so).

@Touche has done it plenty of times on a fix, you'll have no problem on a SS

 

[redcard]

Get to 65KGs
Average 500 miles per month
Club run at least twice a month
Get involved in some proper racing
Start an n+1 fund

All easily attainable!
