2016 Cycling Goals & New Year's resolutions

[GravityFighter]

Posting this here to log my 2015 achievement and measure myself during '16.

As this is my first year riding with no set goals, I'll take 443 miles. I didn't log every ride on Strava and it doesn't include an average of 2 spin classes each week.

Aim for 2016: 1,000 miles minimum, including an imperial century and 50,000 feet of climbing. Will be interesting to revisit this in 12 months' time!

ETA: I'm currently 11st 10lb and and estimated 19% BF. If I can get down to 11st 7lb and 15% BF next year I'll be pleased!

2015 summary

 

[Donger]

It'll be a leap year, so I'll give my bike a clean ... whether it needs it or not.

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

#1 Stop playing computer games
#2 Lose weight by means other than just cycling (i.e. eating and drink less)
#3 Be nicer to everyone (i'm very grumpy)

Me too.

Is this a repeat of https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/2016-cycling-goals.192535/ ?

I'd say not, this is more a general thread for all types of resolutions, that one is cycling related

Not necessarily. That one you linked is cycling-specific goals for 2016, this one is general New Year resolutions.

Oi!

I hope to keep on keeping on.

One 205.6 mile ride next summer (to experience once what Steve Abraham and Kurt Searvogel are doing EVERY day).

Get really fit by cycling more along with walking, swimming and jogging, plus eating sensibly and healthily.

I want to play more golf (now I've turned a corner with my game and get down to 10 handicap - currently 19.7)

Not get too distracted and downhearted by the fake illusion that Norway is a great country to live in: it's not.

 

[Dayvo]

Oi!

OK, you beat me to it. Somehow I didn't see your post at all.

That's ok, hacker

Which reminds me, I must have a sort out of my old golf gear, was kept as I thought I may get back into it but is looking unlikely after 6 years away.
I'll add that to my list of general resolutions

Lose 10kg at least and ride as much as I can despite needing shoulder (and potentially leg) surgery

And try to finally settle a personal injury claim that started in Feb 2014!!

Come here and have a round or two at my club.

 

[bancrobba]

* stop smoking.
* eat healthier.
* cycle more.
* stop filling garden with old bikes.
* don't shout at the kids...probably will though!

 

[vickster]

Oh I also need to decide what direction to take my career in!

 

[Sharky]

I never seem to keep my new year resolutions, so this year, just one ...

To give up cycling


But I'm not optimistic!

I've been told I'm inheriting a bike over Christmas (Thread to follow!) and I am going to have a go at getting over my fear of bearings and maybe even have a go at some wheel building.

Oh, and 4000 miles.
