What is your goal for 2006?

[Trek420]

take a break from the AIDS ride but better not get tooooo outa shape so I can do it again in 2007 so....

to ride the equivelant of it in miles on ALC training rides.

do the Top Hat.

all of BATO.

bike commute more, try to have balance in my bikeing, dog walkies and Aikido.

and Shadon, 3/4 my a**, you will do it all! Reach for the stars and you may miss and hit the moon. Train to do the whole ride. Get to rest stop 4 each day. Just the idea of seeing what those guys do each day kept me goin'. And then it's just a short ride to camp.

For example if you can do the Cindy and a longish ride the next day, and one or two other metrics before June like Primavera, Day on the Ride, you will do jest fine.

Lots of base miles right now. Subliminal hint: base miles base miles base miles.

On ALC3 my plan was train harder than the actual ride, then treat ALC like a 7 day recovery ride. Focus on recovery each day,hydrate, eat lots. Kinda blew it on Day 4 but otherwise ok.

This year went a lot better. Trained more, ate more!! Rode all but 10 miles.

Oh, I forgot a goal acheive world peace

Oh, and have fun
