I'm in and ready for a bit of a challenge.

Two months ago, I could barely lift the bike up to the bus rack. Now it feels feather light.

Two months ago, I could barely finish 6 miles a day (3 of which was commuting), and now do 10 miles a day and would do more if daylight lasted longer.

I'm not interested in performance goals as much as I'm interested in quality of life biking goals. So in my case, a challenge to find a continuing supply of interesting subjects to notice or photograph would in itself naturally increase my level of biking performance.

Another challenge would be to stop STOP working so much overtime which is a killer to bike time.

I'm not sure how this could be quantitated but I'm sure it will all shake out as we forge ahead. One definite thing is that I can increase my lunch time biking range to some new unexplored areas.

So, my hat's in the ring. Who else?????
