I find that if I set a goal at the beginning of the year it really helps me stay on track.. I've started looking at the rest of the year and figuring out if I have enough time left to 1300 miles... I'm really leaning against it... but ya never know... I should be close to 1800 by next wednesday.. then a week of in New Orleans, then a Century ride 4 days after I get back...
like I said before.. original goal was 3000.... but I think 2500 is more realistic. Last year I was on pace to hit 2000 before my bike snapped on me, and left me without it for nearly 3 months.
