Goals for 2005?

[yellow]

I thought it was a good time to bump this up. I was up against one of my goals this weekend and it made me think of this thread.

My update:
I had originally planned out all of my rides for my century of the month plan thusly:
March-Solvang, CA
April-Wildflower, Chico, CA
May-3 State Challenge, starting in TN
June-choice between Sierra Century, America's Most Beautiful, and Comstock, all in eastern CA

So I did Solvang and Chico and ended up not going to TN as my friend there couldn't have me to vist just then. If I'd had my act together, I'd have done the Wine Country (NO, NOT Lodi!). Ah well, what's a girl to do?

Ride one on her own (or with friends). So today Brian and I did a "metric" century plus--78 miles--with about 9000' of climbing. Ouch. My local buds all bailed. But it was a great ride and we saw a whole lot of the county we live in!

And for June I'm signed up to do the Sierra Century. Not sure about my July goal...

'kay, fess up!

My goals for 2005 got floated away with one little bout of sickness after another. *sigh*

It wasn't that much. Merrit Cow Trail Classic in May (35+ km of sweet mountain biking) and Test of Metal in Squamish in June (approx. 5 hours of mountain biking). blast.

There's only one little race at the end of September....my buddies' shop race - should be between 1 1/2 hours and 2 hours of fun fun mountain biking. Last year I was the only girl, but I'm hoping for 6 this year (and, yes, I'd still like to kick their collective butts! heehee)

so, June begins with training season starting all over again. Going a bit lighter, increasing a bit slower, and hopefully not getting sick anymore!!

next?

I missed my mileage goal for April. I've still got a day to get May's. But focusing on miles has kind of made riding not so much fun. So I may kick that goal out. I'd like to be doing more mountain biking than I have been- which means fewer miles.

We have done Diablo twice a month though.

How about making those mountain bike miles count as double? Or at least 1 1/2??



Wouldn't it be great to have fun AND reach your goals??

So, does a ride on Mt. Tam work?
