Seeing this thread has forced me to actually write down my goals. Well, here in snowy Massachusetts my immediate goal is to be out on the road at least a couple of times before the end of March. After that, I want to ride at least 2500 miles this season. I rode about 1900 last year and i have the summer off, so that's probably do-able. Let's see... learn to change a flat (finally), get better at descending (I'm a wimp), and do at least one or two 75 mile rides. I am going on a six day cycling trip from Prague to Vienna for my 25th anniversary. I want to enjoy this and be able to ride each day without injuries or having to ride in the van! Plus, I want to keep feeling that cycling is fun!!! After a couple of years of working on speed, hills, etc., I feel that I am OK, but I don't want to get to the point that this becomes a job. Plus, I need to find someone to ride with during the day, this summer. My riding partner has a new job and won't be able to ride all the time this year.
