Darn, I hadn't thought of that! I guess I could limit myself to a coffee.

Used to originally. The year started in March and winter solstice in December. Think it’s still the case in Yorkshire.

52 cafes in 52 weeks.
You are onto something there! My project this evening will be to map the 52 nearest cafes.

Same as last year
Ride as much as last year and keep the ebike assist down to Eco - or OFF - as much as I can
Oh - and during the winter - I may try to go up 'The Big Hill' at least once a week - normal longer route is too muddy in winter
although that also means go down an even bigger hill - which is scary on a narrow wet road with wet leaves - and a humpback bridge at the bottom just before a sharp right turn
still - I have a helmet so I'll be OK

For many years I've had my house keys on one keyring and my bike-related keys on another. My new years resolution is to combine them onto one keyring -even if this is slightly more annoying to carry around in my pocket. So far I'm feeling pretty confident and motivated 👍

You say that but a few years back i was carrying a rucksack past a wholefood shop run by a group called "Jesus Army" when a bloke comes rushing out saying "Excuse me have you got somewhere to sleep tonight"
"yep" I told him "in my tent"
"We've got a hostel you can stay at"*
"I'm off to catch a train to Matlock for a weeks backpacking holiday"
* I used to live quite close to it on London Rd in Stoneygate, it was regarded as a 'Cult' by anyone wh lived up there.

Ah, the Jesus Army, I remember them at motorcycle rallies. Always ready with a cup of tea when you arrived wet and cold which was nice. Other than that no interest. I did get given a fiver in Oxford once leaning on a wall waiting for my girlfriend to finish a course. I'm not the most fashionable dresser but didn't think I looked homeless!
wandering round london recently a big issue seller greeted me as a fellow traveller/someone he'd seen around on the "circuit".
Still not sure if he was winding me up for some imagined slight.

Hopefully;
The primary one is to lose the 2 stone, I've put on since I stopped running
Secondary, which the first will help, is climb hills better than I do now

Ha...I started my spreadsheet tonight too. I have about 20 local ones, most of which I've been to. I reckon 32 others throughout the year are mor than doable especially if we pull off our planned bike tour in the summer.
We don't live that far apart - we should plan a cafe in the middle!
