2017 cycling ambitions

[Saluki]

Ride more than I did last year. It was pitiful as I have totally lost my mojo with the hills here. Our planned move has crashed and burned so I have been shopping for a different rear derailleur that will take a different cassette to help me on hills. Finally got around to getting 400mm bars for my roadie too, which will improve my lot.
I would like to shift the stone I have put on too. Riding will do that.

I've signed up for this year's Dirty User9609 so the focus is getting a good winters riding in so my end of April I'm ready for 200km off road.

After that just ride as much as I can and hopefully get a few trips abroad.

Pretty sure a lad I talk to on the commute is doing the Dirty User9609 this year

Just to get back on my bike - been ill for almost 6 months.

Blimey. Sorry to hear that.

2017 Miles

Not to over do it on the bike and stay injury free all year, something I am yet to achieve since I started cycling over 5 years ago

 

[RudeNot2]

After doing London to Amsterdam this year (5 year anniversary from London to Paris) I finally took the plunge and moved to a drop bar road bike. One led to a second (Ribble Prime) as I didn't want the salt and winter crud messing with the CAAD12. Have now signed up for ...

Etape Loch Ness
Etape Caledonia
RttS (Carlisle to Cramond)

And the end goal being...

LEJOG

LEJOG is being done through Deloitte RAB - I know there are the haters but it takes the strain away from organising every little detail and allows me to concentrate on training / riding.

Hopefully a few other events in July and August but will see how it goes.

 

[chappers1983]

Mine is just to do as much cycling as I can - new baby daughter will undoubtedly prevent me from matching the 4200 and 3800 miles of the last couple of years.

Not setting any specific targets but just want to try and and maintain as good a shape as I can. But it would be nice to get in at least a sportive a month if I can

 

[Sunny Portrush]

Simple - to do more miles than last year - did a smidgen over 5000 miles last year so want to improve on that!

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

To buy a new bike. I've been looking for 3 months now and still can't decide what I want. Every time I think I've got it I change my mind.

 

[fossyant]

Hoping to get back to more miles. Back on some meds that stopped after my accident last year so should feel much better and less tired. Some of my blood test results were very low.

I'll be hoping to get to the gym more and more off road riding. Sadly I won't be riding on the road.

 

[Old jon]

Crikey. If I tried to cycle 100 miles for every year I have been on This earth I'd end up dying of old age before I managed it.

Yup, I am in danger of running out of old.
