    My goals involve some bike tours, and so my training will be geared toward those trips. At least one of those trips will include a century. The club in my town is starting a weekly ride near my house on Tuesday afternoons, and I really want to do those rides so I will!

    I think it would be really cool to ride my bike every single day, even if it's just around the block. That's one of my goals, too, and it's a hard one because things come up, but I'm going to try.

    I'd like to repeat the HIM I did this year... and maybe break the 6 hour mark. Other than that I may try to do a few olympics as well earlier in the season. Last year the only race I did was the HIM.

    Tulip- I think riding your bike every day is a fabulous goal - and one I certainly aspire to. Cool, rainy weather has been putting me off lately - especially combined with the fact that I get home after dark now.

    My goals for 2010 are on holding, pending results from a knee MRI. Once I know what I'm looking at there, I'll be able to set more reasonable goals. I definitely want to ride a century. Other than that, too early to tell.

    I'm going to continue riding my bike 100 miles a week. It's a good amount for me. I should add I didn't ride at all for 6 weeks last year, which I'm guessing will be the case again this year, but you get the idea. I don't ride if it's icy, just to meet my goal.

    I don't race. My goal next year will be the 70-mile version of the Livestrong Challenge in Philadelphia. It will be my 5th Livestrong ride and my 8th ride in support of the LAF. I'll be happy to finish in the same time as previous years (at approx. 13.5 mph) and with minimal pain.

    My other goal is to have fun and enjoy riding my bike.

    My goals

    * Be able to hang with the 'fast crew' on our Tuesday night club rides, even on the hill that is my nemesis, by the end of the season next year.
    * Improve my cardio so that I don't feel like I'm gonna die when I dismount and run for cyclocross races.
    * Improve moving mount/dismount for cyclocross. Fewer bruises from my pedals would be nice

    Bringing my average riding speed up to 20-22 mph on my own (without a group to help) on most rides...
    Doing my first track riding without killing myself
    Making it up that really, really steep part on the MTB (I pulled the bike over on myself there last time I did it)
    DBF wants me to get my race license and start doing some road races, I am not sure. Maybe.
