well, with the new year upon us, it's time to set those goals and hopefully not break them. we all have them, or at the very least consider making them, so what are yours?
i only have one biking related which should help line up my others: ride 2000 miles. that would be about double of what i did this year, but i really didn't commit myself to riding the way i wanted to. like steve, i have had a lot of life changes over the past year all of which really played a role in me not hitting my 1,000 mile goal this past year. not to mention the fact that i really only rode from may to october which didn't help matters any.
it sounds like a lot of miles, but when you break it down by week, it's only 40 or so miles a week, which for me means investing four days of at least 10 road miles and a time commitment of about 40 minutes per ride. when you look at it that way, it's not such a daunting number.
if i can do that, i'll manage to get myself down to around 210 or so and be a much faster, lighter and happier-in-the-woods-where-i-really-like-to-ride jake.
so, what are your goals?
