T.M.H.N.E.T
Rainbows aren't just for world champions
Survive the year
Continue with weightloss (although I am not particularly large) Crankarm has a differing opinion of this without knowing me
More Sportives - I did two this year but should have been more
Join a club
Meet and marry a female cyclist who will beast me on training rides
Visit 7stanes
Ride MTB more (read: learn how)
MTFU: Too many rides called off due to weather and lack of appropriate clothing.
Enter some form of race
Enter at least 1 cyclocross race
10,000 miles accrued
Enjoy it

Puzzle game procrastinator!
Oh yes - I forgot about LEL. Here are my updated goals:
- To ride my bike again!
- Not die trying.
- Not get scarily close to dying either!
- Don't even think about riding LEL 2013!
- Enjoy reading about other
mad people'sriders' LEL 2013!

Ride more, care less.
Continue to make sure I NEVER join a cycling club.
Get a grip and lose weight.
Increase my 100 mile ride tally.
Career change?
Stop writing lists that will inevitably go to the dogs, (apart from NEVER joining a club that is).

I can see that accidentally riding more than 10,000 miles in a year must be annoying!

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

Cycle in a foreign land (only done Wales, so far 
).
Perhaps cycle an Alpine pass - maybe Stelvio?
Sub 24 min 10 mile TT.
Race and finish in the points.
Improve PBs by 30 secs, on Box Hill & Ditchling.

It's a bleedin' miracle!
My number one aim is to be less fixated on beating the previous years mileage. Just get out there and ride.
Having achieved Randonneur 1000 status, by completing a 300km audax, to try and repeat it.

I've not completed my 2012 goals yet!
1) 4000 miles - I'm on 3800ish and worrying that the ice might scupper me
2) Do a century ride - Achieved
3) Get over The Ryals without putting a foot down - I think I can acheive this now, but only if weather permits a long ride.
All being well, next year's will be:
1) 4000 miles again
2) Do the Virgin Cyclone full route (104 miles)
3) Get up Crawleyside Bank without putting a foot down
