Back on a bike today - 2007 Goals

Feb 3, '07 4:35 PM
for everyone

After teasing you, here’s my 2007 Goals, cycling New Year resolutions perhaps;

Ride every day of the year from now on. At least 1 mile, and Turbo courses count
Do both the UK (Bristol) and World (Aviemore) Singlespeed Championships
One weekend away riding each month to the great ride areas of the UK
Go Cycle Touring….... not sure how or where, Europe would be great
European riding holiday of some kind, road trip hey Stu?
To help the Saturday Stanwick rides continue to grow as the place to go.
To do one epic chilled all day ride with a proper pub lunch one long summer day.
Do a certain long race in Scotland.
Introduce some plumz riders to the great 7Stanes rides in Scotland.

Yep no racing performance goals, I don’t have any so there.

Riding started again today with a gentle spin out to see the Stanwick riders, Wahoo. Comfy and steady on the 5.5 sofa but it showed how weak the arm is, first target is pulling up on the bars then.

The weekends riding plan is underway for April with a weekend away at the HONC event, with another ride on the Saturday before like the Forest of Dean. Join 5 of us by entering; HONC DETAILS. Further must-ride areas are the Berwyn Mountains, Elan Valley, Calderdale, Quantocks, Exmoor, Leith Hill and the South Downs.

It’s the FNSS annual race fixing meeting on Monday so should have some news then of the series dates and venues.

We will have to sort Saturday details out, at the moment looks like me, you, dave, and lee form Northampton and I think Mark(cats) too.
What do you reckon, Travelodge for cheapness ??, means we take own breakfast stuff.
