2008 Goals for Spudwoman:

I'd like to do 2008 miles on my Ruby for 2008! If I do that, then next year I only have to do 2009 miles

I would LOVE to do my first 100 miler in June - Little Red Riding Hood in Utah - I just don't want to ride alone like I did last year. I felt so, um, er, lonely

I will start running with my daughter this spring.

I would like to do a tri even if I come in dead last.

For my dear husband to get a road bike and start coming along, even though he kicks my butt on speed.

Not get hit by a car or crash in any way, shape, or form!

my main goal is the livestrong challenge in philly again next year. this year my sister and i rode for our other sister who has lung cancer. we did the 40 mile ride and it was a struggle, very hilly! my goal is the 70 mile ride next year, my sister just wants to do the 40 comfortably. and we both want our other sister to be there to cheer us on. that's the biggest goal for both of us.

i'd like to do some other organized rides but haven't got any in mind just yet. my ultimate goal would be a cycling vacation in europe, but that's more a long range goal.

May - 100 mi. Ride for Independence, Boise, ID.

Here or in a PM, could you tell me a little about this ride, and maybe shoot me the website? I'll probably need a century goal in May, and we have a good one right here, but honestly, it is almost always cold and rainy on May 20, still!

I love Idaho, and it might be fun to get out for some sunshine and a century!

[sundial]

Here's mine:
1. Quit falling on the mtb.
2. Quit tearing up the computer after I fall on the mtb.
3. Remember to write down my mileage in my little pink book before my
computer tears up.
4. Ride through the winter.
5. Beat the Madone on hills.
6. Do a metric century by May.
7. Learn how to pronounce Etxe Ondo and splurge on the stuff.

First and foremost I want to be healthier!! I have had 4 illnesses knock me off the bike for a week each time.

• Five Centuries
• Enchanted Circle Century in New Mexico. This will be a test of my skills- mental and physical!
• Ride the Tri County Hill Hopper and finally kick its butt.
• 4,500 miles
• Find time to do a Duatholon for fun.

[solobiker]

I too would like to be healthier so I can ride more. I have had several medical issues that have been keeping me off my bike(s).

Goals:
1) solo century
2) Ride 4,000+
3) Climb one of the local hills in under 38min (1,700 elevation in 6 miles)

A few of you have said "Have fun"

That continues to be my number one goal.

Number two is more time riding with my fave training partner... my life partner... we seem to end up on bikes not-together too often

Most of the rest of my goals involve better times in rides I have done every year - time trial courses, club champs, tour of the bay (50km leg) and tour de beautiful (50km leg) ... etc

BUT
I do want to ride in the interclub races and champs in 2008 (mmm... another trip to Gisborne and excuse to walk the beaches )

I would love to compete at National level - but this might have to wait til 2009 or 2010...

[SouthernBelle]

I just want to find some good places to take my teardrop trailer and bike and camp and ride and have fun.

Also want to get the exterior redo of the trailer done asap.

A few of you have said "Have fun"

That continues to be my number one goal.

Having fun is always a given with me. It's just that sometimes my idea of fun is a little insane.
