1. Beat Marek and Stu, thus saving the arguments between them
2. 2nd cat by August
3. So as i can ride the TOB support race in London (assuming they'll be one?)
4. At least entertain the thought of doing a time trial
5. Win a race, dont care where, just wanna know what it feels like!
6. Not get dropped from the E/1/2/3s at Hillingdon (especially when i have family watching, just plain embarrassing)

Other than that, enjoy it, thats the point of it all right!?

- get a podium at the European singlespeed champs in South France
- win a 3rd Cat road race
- win a mtb race
- survive a 12h TT
- bring bike+rider weight down to 65kg (one way or another ... )
- do or plan for an epic touring trip

My modest goals...

1. Cycle through the winter.
2. Actually get some miles in during the week be it turbo or otherwise.
3. Go to Brighton and back at shall we say the social groups pace.
4. Ride from London to Cantebury the week before the TDF.
5. Complete the London to Paris ride without being slumped over the bars.
6. Participate in a few TT's.
7. Feel comfortable in the 17's no matter who is leading.
8. Basically get alot fitter

[Paul on the Pearson]

Being a bit flighty and disorganised what I say I'll do tomorrow I usually end up doing the opposite so the first goal is to not do what I just said I usually do which should help with goals 2 - 4.....

2 Enter 4th cat races and not get dropped
3 Do a 10TT in less than 27 minutes
3 Enter the Catford and Becs hill climbs

Sylvain,

I read, I think in the Joe Friel MTB book that a study of Pro level XC mountain bikers showed that most of them weigh 2lbs for every inch of their height.

That is roughly 1.43kg for every 4cm.

[Andy]

1. Do the Holmwood course in under 27 mins
2. Regain and improve levels of fitness (university means no riding for 2 months but road bike comes up after Christmas...)
3. Go out on a few club runs
4. Feel comfortable in 17s
5. Get in a position to start racing next season or season after...

This weekend I achieved one of my goals for 2007

Had an email from British Cycling to say they'd put me in for a Road Commissaires course this Saturday (yesterday) in Chelmsford. I had hoped I might be invited to attend a course but I did not expect to be until next year, if at all.

The course was very well presented covering many aspects. Plenty of opportunity to get involved, this was not a course where you're lectured to.

We took part in a simulated road race, playing the part of Chief Commissaire, and makeing the calls. Even had to stop the race for a horse crossing the road Decide what to do about the competitor that overtook the Lead Car.

I hope this is a good sign for achieving my other goals for the coming year.

I just had a quick scan through. So far, well done George (won a 4th cat race), Stu (made 3rd cat), Sylv (won a MTB race), Dominic (under the hour for 25TT) and Snoop (well you know about his already!)
