No doubt many made plans for their cycling this year, but how are we all doing?
My plan was to ride everyday, ride 5k miles & lose 1 stone.
Today is day 100 & I've managed to ride every day, although one day due to illness I only managed 0.5miles :blush:
I'm close to 2200 miles, so reckon my target of 5k will be hit before end of summer :smile:
& I've lost over half a stone, so that's heading in the right direction too :smile:

Hopefully now the weather is getting better I can get out for more longer rides & really clock up some miles!

I have 3 distance targets for the year, 2460 (1 more than last year), 3000 realistically, 3650 stretch. Episode 5 of rhabdomyolysis has hindered things somewhat, and at present I've covered only 640 miles.
On the plus side I have managed a metric 50 every month this year.

I am (I think) on target............bearing in mind my target is quite small :smile:
I want to do a 68 miler (as I am 68 yrs old this year).
In the last 6 days I have managed a 26, 28 and today a 21 miler.
Next week I plan to go up to 35............so I'm getting there.
Your half stone loss is to be congratulated as it isnot easy......WELL DONE SIR.

Badly! I wanted to beat my 5000 miles of last year so I was working on at least 400 a month with good summer months taking me over.

As it stands, I have only done 800 miles this year in almost 3.5 months.

This is down to 3 weeks out the country that were unexpected, 2 colds and a chest infection.

Targets:
(1) 3,000 miles in the year. (Closing in on 900 now, having ridden through the bad weather, so looking good on that one),
(2) Complete the "Metric Century a Month Challenge" this year (Easily the toughest thing I have ever tried, but still on course),
(3) Get in my first 100 mile ride (Have had offers of company from a few of my club, so looks possible for later in the year), and
(4) Climb the Col des Aravis and the Col de la Colombiere when I go back to Annecy later in the year (currently chucking in as many climbs as possible as I build towards those).
Finding it a really positive thing to challenge myself to my limits and focus my efforts. Have lost half a stone lost so far this year, though still over 19 stone! As usual, I'm telling everyone who knows me all about it, so I can't back down without losing face.... it's always worked in the past, like with London to Brighton Overnight and Bealach na Ba last year.

No idea. Stopped recording details of rides this year, apart from non routine rides which still get downloaded on Garmin.
I have stashed away a piece of paper with the mileage of each of my 4 bikes as it was on 31/12/14. On 31/12/15 I might look at it again and work out my mileage for the year. Then again, I might not!
I would expect to cover between 3k and 4k miles in a year, on past form. Just got tired of getting hung up on targets.

I'm failing miserably :laugh:
My aim was to do 5000 miles, I'm way out of target, and to do a hilly 110 sportive in September.
The way it is at the moment, I can't even reach the brakes on my road bike, never mind learning to ride clipless up monster hills!
