Happy New Year! 2011 year goals?

[Catrin]

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.

My goal is not to be last at any event(open water swim,mtb etc).

Keep riding as much as I can; try not to overdo it. Ride another century. Recover after a job layoff by finding a new job. Start freelancing for magazines again. Be happy and grateful for the wonderful life I have.

A good goal, BUT, remember that if you start and finish a race, there is NO SHAME in being last (from she who has been there...).

My goal is to be able to keep up with the bike club riders. It would be nice to be able to just show up whenever I want and ride without having to meet someone there my speed, and not get dropped. I know there is no 'shame in being last', but it's more fun to ride with company.

I can't remember exactly when I got my Ruby (maybe a little over a year), so am not sure of exactly how many miles I road last year, but the odometer says 3500 miles! This is my second year of riding.
