Cool thread - thanks for bumping it!

Goals:

- To help, encourage, goad, motivate, etc. the group of team in training coaches I am coaching to complete the Death Ride this year (130 miles, 5 mountain passes, 14,000 feet of climbing). These are some great women who have been cycling for forever, but this will be a big challenge for them and I am so excited to be part of this!!! (DH and a couple of other stronger riders are also part of the group I am coaching, and it will be great to work with them on completeing the event, but I think it's really going to feel special to see some of these women who will no doubt struggle on the training and in the event make the time cut off and complete the 5 passes.)

- To complete 5 double centuries (2 more than last year) and to feel better than I did last year on one of them in particular! (Mt. Tam Double)

- To be there for my daughter. To laugh with her and make her feel important, cool, loved. Maybe do another metric century on the tandem while we're at it.

Well, I think those are the main ones. I will probably do something with the Furnace Creek 508 (2 person or maybe solo if I get really stupid). But right now that's not a "goal", just an inevitability. And I just haven't decided yet what to do with it.
