What have been your cycling goals?

[DooDah]

After achieving a couple of metric half centuries, I am now thinking about 80km (50 miles), then 100km and then 100 miles. Obviously my main aim is just to enjoy my cycling, but I like to aim towards things. What do you look to achieve?

I would like that but i'm a driver as well !

Just to be able to get better, and maybe manage to 30 miles in one go without feeling like I am dying.

My goal for next year is to at least attempt a 400km ride. I managed a 200km in my first year of road bike ownership.

I foresee a flaw in your plan. You will not lose weight if you plan on doing all your cycling on a turbo while you have a large plate of swiss roll on the table next to you.

A fairly constant aim of mine is to regularly ride from home to explore new areas. Over the years, I've gradually expanded the area of my little ''ride every road'' project to just over 120 square miles around my home. As I live in London, there are an awful lot of nearby roads. But I now can't cycle less than 7 or so miles before I reach a place I've never been to before. Mind, I don't do road tunnels, many dedicated cyclepaths, or the duel carriageway sections of the A2. It's a good way of making a big place and its geography feel linked to home, and know how the bits join up.

This years goal was 100 miles and to find a good club, did 112 miles,and now belong to what i think is the best cycle club, have made a few new mates, i need a goal for next year.

Century - Done
Join a club - Done
Average over 20mph on a ride of 25 miles - Done
Lose loads of weight - Errr....

I'm going to start trialling next year, and hopefully bring the weight down. Those are my goals.

 

[vickster]

100 miles this year - rapidly running out of time given the shocking weather!

Stay free of injury is the other, not been too bad for a few months...but then I've not ridden as much

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

I only aim to get out and enjoy myself as much as possible without the knees giving up entirely

 

[Dibs]

My goals, when I restarted cycling 5 weeks ago,was to try to just get out there and lose weight/save bus fares.

Now I've got the bug (85 or so miles later), I'm looking to keep getting out as much as possible over winter, then starting afresh next year proper. I want to get a few longer rides in (20miles+) and maybe do the Glasgow to Edinburgh (if it's still on...).

Would love to try to get serious enough to try LEJoG, but no targets set for that (yet)!
