New Year Resolutions ....

Postby LuckyPierre » Mon Jan 01, 2007 10:00 pm

I'll start - I've got three things so far.
First up, my diary says I rode 3017 kms this year. I put in a big week (for me, anyway) to make sure I made it past 3000. Overall, I rode in 35 weeks (surgery and illness took care of the rest), so my average was less than 100km per week. So, my first resolution is to average 100 kms per week. I'll take more if I can get them of course, but it should be achievable.
My second resolution is to do some sort of tour - whether it's a randonee, a trip to the coast or something else I'm not sure yet, but we'll see.
Finally, (not a real resolution) I want to work more scientifically on my right leg and even myself up a bit. My right thigh is still about 3 cms. smaller than my left, so I will have to focus my training to build it up.

Why not post your resolutions and we'll check back next year and see how we fared! :wink:

ps. I'm away at Jamboree with the Scouts for the next two weeks, so enjoy your early training and racing - I can't wait to start!

Pity you don't have time to ride while you are down at Jamboree, there are some nice rides around there.

My resolution is to win a club C grade race or Vet B, about the same.

No K's objective, I should clock up around 12,000k in 07, but I'm not fussed.
If the R-1 rule is broken, what happens to N+1?

Yeah, but you're not nuts :D

12,000 km **poo**. No wonder he built up the 'beast'.

I did 12,500 in my car in 06.

Bike commuting adds K's in addition to training.

The beast is on ice until I finish crusing back and forward around the country towards the end of January.

There are bikes here. :D
So, they were only Kmart Huffy's, but I got to put in about some time on a purpose-built bmx / cross track - scared plenty of Scouts to have this mad adult blasting around with them!
I even arranged to borrow one for my day off - luxury!
:wink:

:roll: G'day from a newbie to this forum. Was interested in this conversation & "I did 12,500 in my car in 06". Wish I could manage only that, did 10,500 in six weeks during Sept. & Oct. but it was a touring holiday down the South coast followed by central Australia. Anyway just wanted to say G'day.[/quote]

Well you lot can brag all you like, I still reckon my mesely thousand clicks in an unmentioned time frame is pretty good and I intend to feel proud of it so there :P

New year's resolutions? The only new year's resolution I had any interest in was spending it with my lady friend ... and we managed it ... and both our son's were there so you can stop having those horrid thoughts :roll:
