Quite simply my goal for 2019 is to cycle a lot more.

I wasted so much nice weather this year with an injury and a busy social calendar so I'm going to start prioritising the bike more rather than going to the pub.

To physically decline by slightly less than if I made no effort whatsoever.

And the Fred Whitton :-)

I haven't really thought much about 2019 yet, as I'm still trying to complete a few 2018 mileage and commuting goals.

Last week though I was talking to a mate about doing a ride to see how far I could physically ride in a day. I'm thinking of staying up the north coast (of N Ireland) and starting off say 5am in the middle of June and just seeing how far down Ireland I could get in a day or so. My furthest ever ride is around 110 miles and I'd plenty left after that particular event.

I'm still trying to complete my 2018 goals!

I have completed the Half Century Challenge for a third consecutive year, but I'm still a few miles short of my overall target mileage (2,500 miles) - as I'm only able to ride on weekends, this is still possible but weather dependent now.

For next year I'd like to complete more, longer rides - most of the Half Century rides have been metric rather than imperial, and I've only completed a handful of rides at metric century distance (or longer) largely due to time constraints.

I forgot to add these two goals:

Not fall off again

Shift some weight - I've put 10kg on this year and it needs to go.

I'm hoping that the sprain in my right ankle gets back to normal.

Ride to the pub- win win!

I'll probably stick with the modest 3000 mile target. Am tentatively thinking of a Dieppe to Hook of Holland ride in late spring. Planning a route from here to Newhaven is proving tricky- should be a doddle in France, BE and NL hopefully.

To get the time to do something other than commute

 

[groundy74]

With only 29 miles to reach 2000 miles for 2018, I have decided to aim for 2500 miles for 2019.

I will be riding Prudential Ride London for the 2nd time and Velo Birmingham for the first as well as a few local Sportives, all in aid of Charlies Chance Foundation. Ive managed to lose 3 stone this year getting fit for the 2018 Ride London and the target is to lose another 3 stone in 2019.

 

[ianrauk]

Same as previous years.
10'000 miles and the Imperial Century a Month Challenge.
