Last year my goal was to do the series. I got sick after the Spring 200k and missed the 300k. We left the country to travel before the summer/fall series, so I got a big FAIL on my goal.
We got back from our travels three weeks ago, and I'm trying to make up for 6 months off the bike, and being in the worse shape of my life (I'm a pretty fit 26 year old guy, so that's not saying a ton, but I am pretty out of it).
My goal this year is the same as last year, but I am going for the summer series (not for PBP, just for the challenge). It is hard right now because 1 1/2 hours at a moderate pace seems like a big workout. That wasn't even true when I started cycling, because my cardio system was in such better condition. I have a long way to go, but I am looking forward to starting the series in July!
