How's this years cycling plan going?

Mine isn't going very at all.... Only 250 commuting miles on the crosser, zero miles on the roadie and zero leisure miles on either of them.

Note to self.... Must try harder, must try harder, must try harder !

Going ok and went to my first TT last week . Just turn up was the deal but it was fully booked on the day so I've booked in for the next one on the 22nd .
I'm number 27 :training:

Is going OK so far..
200k Audax done already ..
2100 miles out of my target 10000 not so good but still doable
grimpeur du sud award no closer .. only grimpeur audax I've done so far doesn't count lol
Most unrealistic target is to pop round to my daughters place on the bike.. about 300 miles..
Shall try that in July..

Imperial Century a Month challenge. Got my first four completed so doing okay with that.:thumbsup: Apart from that I haven't really made a plan.

It would be nice to beat last year's overall mileage (4372 miles) which looks managable and I need to avoid wimping out of the commute quite so readily when the weather is bad.:blush:

I have met all my monthly targets and ahead for April. I am behind for my yearly target but that's par for the course in April. I'll catch that up over May, June, July, August & September.
It would be helpful if Hubster would ride the bike we paid a grand for him to ride. It's just sitting there and hasn't been ridden for 6 months. Wish I'd had a better kitchen now.

That was my thinking behind the ride every day plan. It's easy to wimp out cause its too cold/wet/windy etc but with the right gear on it isn't always as bad as you think it will be. The wind is always a killer, but now I don't mind head winds too much, just head down & get pedaling :smile:

I had a nominal target of 4000 miles but was hoping to do considerably more. 1000 miles for the year so far but breaking my hip in Feb means that my target has changed to getting back to being confident on the bike and able to enjoy 4-6 hour rides in the (hopefully) nice summer months. If all goes well I might try and put a 200km ride in there later in the year.

Rain has been the biggest issue (still is really) as it's extremely difficult to dry anything if I get wet on the way in to work. (The joys of working in a warehouse.:cold:)

Way down on last year, mainly due to moving house and just not having the time. Hopefully will improve in the coming months.......if this ruddy wind ever dies down!

I'm a month and a half ahead of last year, according to veloviewer. But the mileage graph has a few flat spots due to bad colds that I could have done without. Étape du Tour in July, I'm feeling like I will be able to do it, but still would like to get 5kg off and get a few more climbing miles in my legs to make sure that I enjoy it.

The Hillingdon TT series I missed the first one with a cold, the second one is booked solid, but I have booked in for a few in May, June and July. Would like to get into the 25 minutes on my road bike. I've no idea how I'll do on that at the moment.
