Your 2008 Cycling Goals Please!!

[Andrew G]

Sean, for number 1 I can recommend either the Catford or for an even better route (taking in Toys) Old Ports.

Marco, I like the sound of your International tour, would you cycle everywhere? Having found out how good the trains in Europe are I thought of doing a little trip myself. Various good days riding with train links to get from say France and then visit Holland, Belgium, and Germany. Say 7 nights with a couple of days in each country and stay in cheapo B&Bs. Not sure if I'll do it next year, but definately one in the pipeline.

Goals

1. Ride consistently throughout the year for once
2. Ride regularly in training group by March
3. Race at Palace and win some points
4. Break 25 mins on Holmwood (could be tricky but up for a challenge)
5. Ride a 25TT
6. Lose 10lbs (BMI currently over 25)
7. Break 45 mins on Croydon 10k run
8. Continue to enjoy my time in the saddle and meet new people

Ok, here you go...

1. To stay on my bike, all year...
2. If no.1 fails, not to get injured in the process.
3. Win a race, preferably on the road.
4. Win a stage race.
5. See that those close to me succeed in their aims, be they ACC or whoever.
6. A 22min 10
7. Beat the hour for a 25... gonna need some encouragement for this one though!
8. Enjoy it all, hopefully by murdering de Ronde van Vlaanderen parcours in April, and dying a thousand deaths in the Alpes... again. And see some more of the world without my bike
9. Oh and meet another bunch of fantastic people while chilling out doing London to Paris in July. Im 99% certain for this for Action Medical Research. Seriously, it was probably the best four days I had on a bike this year...

If I can get close to ticking off all 9, i'll be a very very happy man!!

[quote="kieran"]for me my goals are:

Spot Toks in a race. (only joking - I need at least one achievable goal!)

do better than last year:

earn > 8 BC points in RR

plan of attack is to not use CP races to get race fit but to be race fit by the time they start so start gettinh points early in the series.

Hopefully hog hill will have come about to reduce pressure on CP.

other aims I have are more leisure based (e.g. do some mtb, track, sportives so as more leisure based I won't term them goals - more like 'plans for next year')
