Considering that my riding year was cut cleanly in half, ending at the end of June, I have obviously had to reassess my goals!

In the 6 months I was able to ride this year, I did 3 doubles and a 600k, close to 3000 miles total, so I am not too disappointed, all things considered.

My goal for the rest of the year is to try to be patient and heal so that I arrive in good health when I can ride in January. I'm also doing this silly marathon - but mostly fast walking, as I do notice some continuing ill effects when I push intensity level too high.

the hard thing for me will be patience at the beginning of next year, not pushing too much too fast. Patience is not one of my strong suits, so I will need to work on that!

V you can hit 300 k climbing no problem!
