    Climbing Club - April Goals

    Time to set those goals for April ladies.

    Well I have decided not to set myself an amount for April as with Spring break thrown in there (little chance of riding that week with the boys at home) and other family stuff it will be a short riding month for me.

    So instead I have decided to try and do two routes locally that I have avoided up until now. One involves riding down to the Yuba river and back (back is the scary part imagine canyon). The other involves adding an extra loop I found on routeslip to an already hilly ride.

    Lets hear your goals.

    Oops nearly forgot check out the March thread for some of the March results.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    I got almost 25,000 feet in for March. I'd like to top that in April. I also want to climb at least two out of the three local mountains. And some mountain bike time would be nice.

    April....hmmm, not sure. My first mountain century is May 5th, so April will have to have a good amount of climbing in it.

    I'm going to shoot for 14,000 ft.

    I'm shooting for 18,000.

    Hopefully I can start it out right with a ride tomorrow up Palomares, Crow Canyon & back down to Sunol & over Calaveras.

    I have a hard time setting actual climbing footage goals because I don't have an altimeter but I will attempt to climb Knox Mountain once a week in April, AND do hill repeats on Steele road and/or Gordon Hill once a week. If that's unmanageable, I'll alternate the two - one on week, and the other the next week.

    Got 34,200 for March. Probably shoot for 20,000 in April. I think it may be a quieter month. Famous last words.
