[Dave 123]

My aim is to be fit for my London- Paris ride in July. I get in just in time to watch Cav give them a good pasting....

My goal is to survive another year on our pot holed, barely visible faded white lines and road signs, green mould covered, tree blocking view of direction signs, full of motorists who, don't have lights, don't indicate, give you minimal passing space etc etc roads!! Then if i don't come off in the meantime and i'm still here this time next year then i'll be happy!

 

[DooDah]

My 2013 goal is to reach 200 posts on this forum, so that I can try the saddle library thingy

Win the Scratch trophy again.

Hmm, Today I 'registered interest' and filled in the application form, for a 1200 mile, 2 week ride: Barcelona>Tolouse>Paris>Belgium>Holland>Harwich>Hatfield ride, that's likely to happen in Sept.

Unknown if I will get a place or if I will sign up for the entire thing - I may opt for the first 8 days which is Barcelona>Paris, via the Pyrenees. Charity caper, through work - so it's dependant upon my confidence in raising a whole bundle of sponsorship!

I'm fine. Leg feeling better after the weekend. Avatar a reflection of my increased desire for anonymity while still retaining an online identity (+ I felt like messing round in Photoshop).

An update on my 2013 cycling goals. How are yours going?

1. Jan 5th. Get a place for the LEL! (fingers crossed).
2. Pre July- an SR. *I'm doing 200k distance already but packed my only 200 event in Jan due to a dodgy knee. I have a DIY 300 route awaiting validation to do when I can fit it in and have dates for a 400 in May and a 600 in June. I'll fit in a 200 event somewhere as well.
3. Spring. N+1 audax bike A shiney red Hewitt Chiltern. Very nice.
4. April. First FNRttC York to Hull. A fine ride.
5. June/July. Boys weekend S2S (Whitehaven to Sunderland). *Booked a weekend in July for the boys. Only a 100 miler though but should still be fun.
6. July/Aug. LEL.
7. Jan-Dec. Imperial century a month. Jan, Feb, March and April centuries done.
8. After August. Lighten up on the cycling a bit!

This year i have only managed 530 miles since i started with a learning curve lots of improvement needed but i am hoping to try and complete the following
squeeze in 2000 miles this year (around my 60 hour average week)
metric 100
75 mile
100 mile
but more importantly try improve my hill climbing currently get right down to 3 mph on my local hills
get my average speed up
lose weight
JUNE 2014 lejogle in 3 weeks

Well I have completed both my metric and imperial century my average speed has increased slightly and smaller hills are easier. another stone to lose to help their i think. currently 1400 miles into the 2000 target so all going well.

 

[busdennis]

1. beat this years total of 1736 (should be easy as only really started cycling in the summer)
2. get below 15 stone. (current weight 16st 8, weight loss this year 1 st)
3. get under 26 mins for a 10mile tt (best time this year 27min 47sec)
4. complete a 100 mile ride (best this year was 60)

1 see total below
2 three pounds to go
3 smashed with a 22.58
4 still not done yet with my longest ride being 77 but i do feel lke i could complete at anytime
