Happy New Year! 2011 year goals?

[Becky]

My goals for 2011 are:

-to ride as much as possible for fun and transportation, and not get caught up in how far and how fast. DH and I are currently talking about doing Bike Virginia and possibly the Gran Fondo Philadelphia. Also, I'd like to build up a cheeeeap singlespeed that I can ride for errands and not be paranoid about locking up unattended.

-to accept that, in order to enjoy all of the sports and activities that I love, I may have to ride less, and that's ok as long as I'm still being active.

Ride more often, though specific event-related goals will be tied to where I end up going to grad school.

I don't know, really. To me, "new year" is in August/September. Curse the academic calendar!

I'm going to do a brevet series and some double centuries.


And continue to lose weight.

My big goal for 2011 is to learn how to MTB, hopefull without any broken bones.

As for my road bike, I just want to regain some consistency and discipline in my routine. I went through so much change over the last 18 months and was forgiving when it came to sticking to my former routine. It's time to re-focus. I'd like to do more climbing and get at least one century in. DH and I are doing an end-to-end tour of the Katy Trail in September, so I hope that keeps us both motivated. I also want to ride with my old riding buddies a bit more.

We have lots of hiking and camping planned for the spring and summer--including an April trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon.

I have a few goals for 2011, one of which is to avoid more over-use injuries and to log at least 3k miles.

I would like an introduction to mountain biking (the Midwestern MTB clinic) and focus/improve my bike handling skills. If I see in the clinic that I CAN do this without breaking bones, then mountain biking will be a 2012 goal.

While I would love to do a brevet this year, first I will focus on doing a century without injury, then will consider a brevet. I want to focus on the finding and feeding of my inner hill-climbing beastie and just plain having fun on the bike. General touring/exploring/club rides while avoiding over-use injuries...

Continue to lose weight - but more importantly - lower my body fat percentage and add muscle mass. Fitness walking and the occasional hike with perhaps a mat pilates class to round things out.

I just put a rack on my new bike, so I hope to do even more commuting, and more errand riding, and I hope to win another stage of the tour de France.
