Not get run over or crash.
Raise your hand if your forgot this one!

On second thought, I'm not sure I have enough control of this to really consider it a "goal." I somehow think it is everyones desire, wish, hope, dream, etc. but can your really make it happen?

Get a spot in and finish the Harpoon brewery to brewery ride
8 centurys

start riding regularly again and work up to some solid weekly mileage.

lose the weight ive gained since ive been off the bike. all of it and more.

enter a race and finish with the pack.

do a tri or 2.

adacas 12-08-09 08:03 PM

damn you reminded me I've been wantin to start training for a tri

andrewluke 12-08-09 08:19 PM

Make it up Baldy Rd. up to icehouse canyon trailhead. It's about 10 miles of climbing from 6-10% average peaking around 15 just past the village. I suck at climbing so this would be big for me.

I'd also like to get out and do 120 miles a week. I was averaging that recently until all this rain lately (which is rare so when it comes, the roads get uber slick) and the 30* morning temps. I need some tights and a trainer.

mzeffex 12-08-09 08:20 PM

More than 10 races.

mike868y 12-08-09 08:26 PM

Maintain at somewhere between 125 and 120lbs
Win a few junior races
Upgrade to CAT 4
Keep riding in the fall while at college.

No one gets out of here alive of course. I know that.

pdedes 12-08-09 08:49 PM

• race again (after 10 years away)
• pull an elbow-skimmer out of their vehicle and pummel them

bigd 12-08-09 08:59 PM

2009 was a good year for me cycling wise. It would be difficult for me to set a goal to beat anything I did this year. So I will bike a lot less next year and focus more on weight loss and core exercise.
I will try to ride every day of 2010 and keep to somewhere around 12000km.
Do a few more hill nights and work on my speed.

kdawg 12-09-09 05:53 PM

1.race cat 5 for the team i joined and place in the top 10 by mid season

You have already accomplished this and 2010 doesn't start for three weeks. Well done.

stevegor 12-09-09 07:08 PM

* Finally get my passport, come to the USA, find where Pcaddy hides and show him what these hard Aussie legs can do....I'll break him.

* Climb some serious mountains

* Take my VI stoker on some long rides 200-500kms

* Hammer my mates on Sat morn.

* Maybe, just maybe join the Masters again.

walshconor 12-09-09 07:09 PM

Take the overall at Fitchburg in cat 4 at age 18

spinwax 12-09-09 07:16 PM

Mine will look ridiculous if I post them; quite ambitious. Probably too lofty. I will look bad if I don't achieve them. So for now, I will have to keep quiet.

There are some great goals listed on here. I hope everyone achieves their objectives!

kudude 12-09-09 07:35 PM

same as last year (bad sign), upgrade to 3s. Maybe if I actually race on a consistent basis things will fall in line. Oh, I should probably train, too

wheelsets 12-09-09 08:20 PM

Do 3 centuries in 2010
Ride consistently with the B ride and hang with the A ride at least once.
Get back on the mountain bike and not forget all the skills I lost training for my first century.
Do a 50 miler on the mountain bike.
