[steveindenmark]

Not to buy a helmet cam, pretend I am a policeman and look a dick by posting it on social media sites where I can be heard shouting out car registration numbers for no particular reason.

To convince myself to ride LEJOG.

To do some planning for LEJOG

To ride a tour of at least 500km

Not to buy any more bikes.

Find time to try my first touring ride with all the camping gear I bought years ago.

I am already looking at a recumbent and a Focus CX.

But I will try to stay strong.

 

[Oldbloke]

6,000 kms
At least 2 tours
200 kms day rides
Complete MTB Sportive series
Learn more French insults to shout at close passers and other halfwit drivers

 

[MickeyBlueEyes]

To have another year at 11'000+ miles.
To plan and complete a single ride of 205 miles in 10.5 hours.

 

[Hip Priest]

To take a minute of my 10 PB and 2 minutes off my 25 PB
To train properly
To commute every day, but at slow recovery pace

 

[young Ed]

Well I just remembered I promised myself to get back on fixed next year, so it sort of breaks my first resolution but I've never stuck to resolutions so who cares.

you said not to BUILD any more bikes, you never said you couldn't go and get a spec langster or charge plug or any other fixie off the peg BUYING is not Building

Not to buy a helmet cam, pretend I am a policeman and look a dick by posting it on social media sites where I can be heard shouting out car registration numbers for no particular reason.

in fact i'm thinking about starting to wear a cam! my vids would never go to youtube or on here etc, it would purely be for police, courts and insurance companies if i were to get hit. i just feel i've had all too many close passes this year and i must say that having a murderous bus driver try to kill me and i was only saved by my quick thinking i reckon was scary enough for me!

To have another year at 11'000+ miles.
To plan and complete a single ride of 205 miles in 10.5 hours.

well f' me!
not sure how you get time to post on here with that many miles to do!

good luck in holding up 20 mph for 10.5 hours! what bike will it be on?
Cheers Ed

Thinking of recording mileage instead of just heading out and riding and not having a clue
Need to get a computer thingy but an too stingy to spend £££.
Also restart my bike fund for a disc braked road bike, raided the last one and spent it on the garden.

Do you have a smart phone? You can measure distance on Strava or similar

Or if you ask in the classifieds, someone may have an old computer they'd send for the cost of the postage. Indeed, I have a Tesco one I never used, I'll see if I can find it and the parts later!

A disc braked road bike you say...

I have a Samsung Galaxy not an IPhone, don't know if that would work?
Thanks.

Gulp....now that's some target.

That should work, I got Strava to work on several different phones, but now use it on one with a SIM card in but it can't make calls. It just uploads the data when I have wifi, rather than using my data allowance.

Yes, download strava for android. Be aware it can be battery hungry, so if doing long rides it'd be worth spending £20 or so on a secondary battery pack
