Cycle Chatter Targets 2020

[Whorty]

This thread is for any CycleChatters to share their personal goals for 2020

To make it easy to find our goals as we go through the year, can I ask that each poster posts only one post to the thread initially so that our goals are page 1-2, and updates this thread through the year.

All are welcome. For those new to CycleChat, if you also Zwift then come and join us on the Splitters thread. Add CycleChat to you Zwift name and join ZwiftPower and join the CycleChat Team in ZwiftPower

My targets for 2020 ....

Ride more than in 2019, which was 8640 km (mostly on Zwift)
Increase w/kg on zwift to 3.4
Keep FTP at 235 or above
Get weight below 70kg and keep it down there
If I can get to the Tour of Cambridge, then ride the 100 miles in less than 5 hours
Complete all the 'route' badges in Zwift
Take my new bike outside in the sun come Spring and Summer

7500 miles (again) - hit 7300 this year mainly due to more track and less distance rides. It's up on last year (6833) and 2017 (7196) but not quite there in 2019.

Oh, and to get a track point from track racing. Just one. And I failed at this in 2019 as well.

More than this year hopefully as didn't get to 7,000kms after setting a goal of 8,500.

Have a Naarfolk coast mini tour semi-planned.

And try to do some Audaxes.

 

[Specialeyes]

To get my FTP back up above 260w.
Might not seem much but after having been flattened for 6 weeks by an operation and sepsis, it seems a long way off suitably challenging!

Complete Vartenrundan 300 in June. Complete Torino - Nice Rally in September, if I get a place.

I will be delighted with 2020 miles on the bike, back and knee problems are holding me back, 250 miles of swimming which was what I did this year.

My goal is avoid over training, i hope that gives me quality rides in year 2020. If i succeed it that opens the door for anything with bike.

Is this a virtual training targets thread? If so ...

Keep up the regular Turbo sessions throughout the year ... and learn a bit more about the technicalities of it. Then I might even be able to set some targets

 

[roadrash]

I have one simple goal.....to keep turning the pedals however much I can as long as my knackered spine allows me to

 

[lane]

Keeping it simple with not too many targets

1. 4,000km which would be my best distance (3,606 this year)
2. Cyclechat 50km and 100km monthly challenge
3. Audax R500 award (50,100,150 and 200km rides)

I would say the 100km monthly challenge is going to be the toughest challenge

 

[theboxers]

One target this year.

[mjd1988]

Nope, it is a thread for your overall 2020 cycling targets. It just happens that most of us on this bit of the Forum also do a lot of indoor stuff
