What targets did you set for 2013 and more importantly are you going to achieve them
Mine was to increase my annual mileage from the 9,000 of 2012 to 10,000. Not quite going to make it though, around 9,800 I reckon so not a bad effort

Interesting pedal but I think they'll need to unclip the pedal price from the shoe price as £592 is off-putting.

Mine was to start commuting earlier and finish later. Last year I rode 7500km for the entire year. So far I've managed close to 11,000km and still another month to go.
Similarly, I was hoping for 10,000 miles. Sadly 2 crashes (one car, one wall) resulted in a whole month of 2013 lost to injury, and I've had to reset my target to 15,000km, which I should JUST meet! Very happy considering it's only really my first year of dedicated riding.
3 main ones for me...
First was similar to yours stuke, to up my last years total of 7,000km to 10,000km. Currently on 9,055 with a few big rides this weekend and a relatively free December so that could go down to the wire!
Second was to complete a metric challenge, still on target for that on the Bikeradar one http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40007&t=12895092
Third and favourite was to give the Cingles de Mont Ventoux challenge, managed that back in July, a few days before the tour went up it. That is an amazing experience, highly recommended.
Overall it's been a good year on the bike!
Mine was to complete London Edinburgh London in less than 72hrs.
Didn't quite make it but pretty happy with 79hrs and 5mins.
