    my goals are dependent on if/when i get pregnant

    once i get pregnant (assuming i will) my goal is to ride as much as i am comfortable riding for as long as i am comfortable riding, and if i am comfortable i will work on technique and speed and things like that as well.

    until i get pregnant my goals are working on being faster and going longer.
    also i want to learn more about bicycle mechanics
    and not for next year but this December i am planning to attend a bamboo bike building workshop so that is a goal as well. but if i get pregnant my husband will attend in my place probably since not sure i would want to be around some of the stuff used to build the bike also the workshop is really long and not sure i would have energy depending on what trimester and things.

    my other goal is not for bicycling and is starting now
    to do the couch to 5k running thing. started that yesterday and would like to keep up with running next year

    seasons are mild here and i like to ride solo so i don't do competition or group rides so my goals are not really affected much by years or seasons.

    I feel like a bum now.

    A lot of this depends on where I end up going to grad school, but:

    -put 100 miles on my bike in a week.
    -get better at hills
    -get more comfortable with riding on roads.
    -metric century?
    -an organized ride, depending on where I end up. A friend's already asked me to join him on one leg of RAGBRAI. If I end up in Tuscon, DBF's planning on dragging me to Tour de Tuscon...but that might wind up being in 2012 depending on his school plans.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
