Climbing Club - May Goals

[Trekhawk]

Time to post those goals for May.

Im afraid I didn't get in either of my two goal rides for April so I will keep that as my goal for May. Lets hope I get in a little more riding in May than I managed in April.


Lets hear them.

I hope to get in less than April. Maybe 25,000 feet.

Mine's a very modest goal: to get to the top of "my" hill without taking a break anywhere along the way to catch my breath, my heart rate, and find my legs again! I'm getting closer!

When I can do that, I'll start working on doing it twice in one ride!

Okay......I am committing to ride Buck skin (front side) twice and climb ride Garden Creek pass once.......ouch

Oh what have I done?????? I am not sure of the elevation but know that I have my 305 garmin I will find out.

I'll stick with my goal from this past month: 18,000

I'll go with 20,000. No more crazy stuff after My Arizona Adventure.

So how is everyone doing?

I accomplished my big goal - Central Coast Double. I'll probably finish up with 35,000+ feet for the month.

As of today, I think I am at about 12,500. My goal was 13,000, so with five days to go and barring unforeseen yuckiness of any kind, I will make my goal. In fact, I might end up more in the 15,000 range.

I think my goal was 25,000. I should be around 30,000, depending on what I end up doing tomorrow. I think my real goal was "less than April", which was a crazy month. So I achieved that.

Like you, Veronica, I did mine! It was a pretty minor one compared to things I see here -- just to get all the way to the top of "my" hill in one shot.

Good thing about it -- I'm doing better on ALL the hills I climb now that I've figured out how to climb "my" hill!

And I'm starting to wonder just how many feet I am logging -- I don't have a computer that can tell me that yet!

And so it begins. Don't get an altimeter unless you want to start climbing more than you ever thought you would!

Okey dokey - looks like I will be at 33,650 for the month as I don't expect to do much more outside riding this week.

Lovely!

Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I have set climing goals so I had a lot to learn. I had set out to make two climbs up the face of Buckskin and ride Garden Creek Loop. Well so far I did ride Buckskin (back side, longer ride) once and have not ridden Garden Creek. But I am learning how to use my garmin and have climbed 21, 000 feet so far. I hope to ride Garden Creek this week. It a beast!!!
I really had a great week of riding. I rode 138 miles this week but more flat than hills. Wed I rode 50, Saturday I rode 65 miles and a few other short rides. Hopefully June will have more climbing!!
