1. Ride LESS next year. I'm over 6600 miles for this year, have no hope of matching my best ever (6835 in 2007). It's gotten too obsessive. I plan on settling back to 100 miles a week, average.
2. Now that the business license papers have been filed, make a go with Syke's Cyclery (repairs, refurbishing, restorations). And not do like I did with my last business of burning out and ruining a good hobby.
