My goals for last year were to lose weight, and get into shape. I lost 25 pounds, and was able to get into good enough shape to get some high results in a number of Strava segments. Strava is popular here in Japan, and people here seem competitive, trying to put their names as high as possible.

My goal for 2025 is to compete in the Tour Divide in North America, the grand depart is 6 months away I’ve got the bike and the gear, I still need to work out the travel details. If I can stay healthy, I should be fit enough to compete, or at least finish within 30 days.
