Who is planning what challenge in 2021?

[Soltydog]

• Ride 50 of the top 💯 climbs

Best of luck with that one 👍. I tried a year or 2 back & the logistics of getting around the country to do them proved too difficult for me. There's regional ones listed on Veloviewer & I didn't even manage 50 of those I've just bought the Ride Britain book, so Covid allowing I'm hoping to tackle a few of those rides next year & take on some more of the climbs

I have a slight advantage here - 42 I can either ride to and back in hours or are an easy day drive 'n' ride from home.

From time to time four we include in our regular group rides. The Rake, Trough of Bowland, Cross 'o Greet, Nick 'o Pendle.

Belgian coast and the Kusttram, probably as a weekend trip.
Vennbahn, taking in the Drielandenpunt on top of the Vaalserberg, Signal de Botrange and all three highest points in Luxembourg.
I'd also like to ride the canal towpath from Chirk to Llangollen, going through two tunnels and over the very tall can't-spell-it-let-alone-pronounce-it aqueduct.

We are clearly like-minded. I love Luxembourg, like finding multi-country borders and have done the Signal de Botrange (from Malmedy). Nobody ever seems impressed because they think Belgium is flat, but I believe it's higher than any paved road in Wales (nearly 700m alt). If you are going to do Luxembourg, the Mullertal is a really beautiful wooded valley, and I would very much recommend approaching Vianden via Mont St Nicolas .... superb view across to one of the finest castles for miles around, followed by a great cobbled descent into a little gem of a riverside town. Enjoy!

Five day tour with a bunch of fellow pensioners

Hope you don't mind my bold addition? Sounds like a top aim to me. 5 days on tour

After spending most of this year on a cancer treatment program, my goal for next year will be getting back on my bike, don't care where or how far I just want to get back out.

 

[Donger]

This was meant to be the year I started cycling (in increments) the whole South coast. That went well! Zero miles done on that challenge. maybe next year I'll get the chance to make a start.

 

[DCBassman]

Just more miles than this year. I set 500, due to having spinal surgery in the weeks before lockdown, and have topped 600, so not bad. 1000 in 2021.

Avoiding Covid and the food riots.

I won't be commuting until June at the earliest in any case. If I ever go back in.

 

[Milkfloat]

From a commuting side, hopefully it will be just riding to work rather than sitting at home. That does depend on the office ever opening up again though.
From a social point of view - I don't have grand plans, although if we go abroad I will rent a bike and take on a challenge. My sights are set pretty low, it would be wonderful just to enjoy regular large group rides with my friends.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

Complete more audaxes - DIY, permanent or calendar, not too fussed but it would be nice to see other riders along the route.

 

[Ridgeway]

Ride more and eat less.

At present i seem to be doing the opposite

 

[gavgav]

With the current situation, I’d settle for being able to ride my bike up in Wales from our caravan and to get on a bike, whilst holidaying in the Lake District, even just once in 2021.

Anything more grand than that will have to wait until life hopefully returns to a bit of normality, at some stage next year.

 

[GuyBoden]

I'm just hoping that we all can get back to our normal cycling routines sometime next year.

 

[Tribansman]

Assuming things start returning more to normality, i'd like to complete...

A 50 mile ride with my lad
2x 100 mile rides every month
500km/300 miles in 24 hours

 

[Jefferson Meriwether]

All being well I'm hoping to cycle from Worthing to Holyhead and back Easter time. I'm also hoping to do another multi day walk. Haven't decided whether to redo the Pilgrims Way, redo the Cornish Celtic Way or do a new walk.

My wife is finally amenable to the idea of moving out of Worthing; hopefully a move back towards the West Country will happen next year.
