Do a bit more climbing next year. I will probably hit 250000 ft this year, but 2014 I did over 310000. I have no excuses, just been lazy and been hammering it on the flat instead.

1. Commute through the winter, ice and Atlantic gales excepted
2. Switch from electric to pushbike for commuting when clocks go forward
3. Increase distances on weekend rides from current ~10 mile average, aiming for ...
4. Complete Tour of Pembrokeshire in April (only the 50-mile option, but you've got to start somewhere)
5. Continue logging ride miles and times, aiming for 2000 by the end of the year
6. Try to get a small cycling holiday in, even if it's only an overnighter with credit card.

I did a bit of spreadsheeting last night. Using the three years of MAMIL-era data that I have in ridewithgps. I got an Eddington of 62. Of course, that could well be completely wrong as I may have misunderstood the point of it.
The thing is that most of my rides are either short (5-15k commutes) or 100-110k, with a few others thrown in. This distribution is probably why I get an Eddington of 62 (approx 100k).
I'm not sure how interesting I find Eddington or whether I want to improve it. It's a bit hard to understand what it means. Maybe I'll redo the calculation in a years time and see if it's interesting then.
