2016 Cycling Goals & New Year's resolutions

[Accy cyclist]

This year i hope to complete 4500 miles which is a hundred more than last year. Next year i'd like to reach 5000 miles, but i'd be happy with anything over 4500. I'd also like to keep up my Wednesday rides with the group i joined the other month. We manage around 55 miles so that's far enough for me. If i could have an accident free, decent weather 5000 miles year i'd be happy!

I think you have done more then 3 rides over 3 miles right?
So if you have done 5 miles on 5 rides then it's 5, 10 miles 10 times then it's 10, 20 mile rides 20 times then it's 20 etc and so forth. .

I've had a bit of a cycling hiatus since summer 2013 so was only looking back on my 2015 rides which totalled 3 in all. 1 ride in Jan 2015 19.8 miles 1 ride in Feb 2015 33 miles and 1 ride December 2015 26.8 miles. I only rode 3 times in 2015 so I can only claim E=3. If I had 30 rides of 25 miles then I could claim E=25 or am I being thick?

Correct for your "in the year E number" ie E(2015)=3
But Eddington numbers are really lifetime records, ie your pre hiatus rides count

5. Don't give up cycling!
6. Learn more to do with the maintenance side of my bikes

Thank you to both Ianraauk and PK99 for helping me out on the Eddington numbers. I have a bit of research to do I'm not sure what records I still have but I will do some digging

7-8 day JOGLE, time off work permitting.
Being an anti-social bastard I will do it on my own (I also dont have any friends)

I am trying to hit my 2,500 target for the year. Only 200 miles short. Not bad for weekend or 1 evening a week riding.

1. Start commuting next year.
2. Target elevation over distance.
3. Now going to look at an Eddington score too.

Do a full year without breaking one of those white, stick-type things in my body

An Italian C2C

C2C Italy is cheating, how about:

[tallliman]

1) 1 imperial half century a month
2) first century
3) first tour, midlands to south shields and then c2c with friends (albeit West to east, almost feels like cheating)

Work less, enjoy myself more, hopefully on my bike

That would involve travelling outside the Mezzogiorno and they're weird up north.

Napoli to Sta Lucia di Leuca looks like it's a goer, though.
