2016 Cycling Goals & New Year's resolutions

[Pennine-Paul]

Get a job!
Do some audaxing
Try and do a metric century a month
Divorce my Mrs

Not necessarily in that order!

 

[mjr]

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

So this one's in the wrong forum?

A new Job next year means I'm only commuting 2 miles a day instead of 22 and only working 3 days a week instead of 5/6.
So my main resolutions are

• To ride more for fun now I have more time
• Build a cheap fixie to commute/run errands on
• Try some different activities and finally lose that last two stone

Why are you always so predantic?

 

[youngoldbloke]

Get my hip replaced, lose some of the weight I've put on, and cycle 5000 miles - both of those ambitions thwarted in 2015 due to that hip

A long motorbike tour

A long cycle tour

Get the Jobs done in the garden that I didnt complete this year

Stay happy and healthy

I'm not. Why do you react with such hostility to confused people asking questions?

Eh?

Lose a couple of stone, currently 15 st 7 lb.
Practice my RC model flying and pass BMFA fixed wing B certificate. Its for aerobatics.
Complete at least one imperial century.

 

[MickeyBlueEyes]

Complete n+1 (a given, just waiting delivery date)

Complete a 200 mile ride @ 20 mph average

Give racing of some description a blast

 

[Postmanhat]

Assuming I'm less ill and crashy, then 5,000 miles should be possible.

Which should lead to at least a stone of weight loss

Which will help with the hills, and overall speed

So n+1 becomes inevitable, which will mean moving from the flat to an actual house to accommodate it

Which may mean I take up gardening, thereby nullifying all of the above

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I guess

- Lose the weight I've put on (started year at 10Stone 1, now 10 Stone 9, but can still run, just feel bad)
- ride a bit more than I do
- have another go at Cyclo-Cross (after riding my first one for 6 years, in September)

I want to do the National 400km next year and prep for that. Also want to lengthen the daily commute but that's probably not something to do until Spring so not really a New Year aim. Alter diet is another aim but that will definitely not happen this side of the New Year. Good luck to everyone with their goals! Gez

Hmmm, I cycled 4,100 miles in 2015 and put on a stone and a half

 

[Soltydog]

Still finalising my plans for next year, but it will certainly involve less cycling, otherwise I'll be looking at a divorce & I can't afford one

I want to do a coast to coast ride in a day, a 100 mile ride in 5 hours & a 20+ mile ride at an average of 22mph.
I'm also considering a 24 hour ride, but not sure if that will work ?? May settle for a sunrise to sunset ride in June
