    What are you are aiming for next year ?

    For me it is building up to June when I do two hard sportives (both 160km and 2500m of climbing) and 3 days in the Alps climbing all the main Cols.

    After that and some rest will prob go for TT’s for the rest of the year.

    It’s been pinned and I’m spending New Years Eve in North Hampshire hospital in Basingstoke.

    I’ll be on crutches for 12 weeks and from what I’ve read that could also be about how long it takes to get on a trainer let alone riding properly.

    My first goal though is to walk !

    sorry to hear that and I hope you are back on the bike sooner rather than later.

    Raise money for the nf foundation, scoliosis society as these are two charities close to me as my son has had spinal surgery because of both of these conditions. Once his spine is fused and he gets the ok hope he’ll be out riding with me.

    Apart from all the social miles with my mates I’ll also be doing some Cat 4 racing (old man category).

    Flanders in April.

    We plan to ride Ventoux in June, I’m down in the Pyrenees in August to do some classic climbs as the kids play in the pool and I’m doing the Cambridge Gran Fondo and Velothon Wales.

    In addition I’m doing the Newcastle to London in 24hrs challenge and a group of us are doing Barmouth to Great Yarmouth in 48hrs for Cancer Research UK.

    It’s going to be a great 2015.

    Sustrans do a nice book on the ‘Avenue Verte’ which I bought a couple of months ago. Good read and I’d like to do it with the whole family sometime and I could do it next year by myself first as preparation for a trip to Chile in 2016.

    Tour de Karntan, this year.

    Nowt planned after July, other than enjoying the summer.

    Entered the Tour of Cambridge TT and sportive. Need to get a decent aero road bike and practise TTs as I haven’t done any for a while, actually 40 years. Belong to a club so no problem with that. Boost my mileage a bit, gone from 4500miles to nearly 6000 this year. Maybe 7k next year! Hill climbing is my strength but need to produce more power on the flat. Going to be essential for those TTs.

    -Celtman Xtreme Triathlon (for this last one I’m in the market for a “support crew”: someone who will drive a car, and run 15 hard km with me. Anyone interested?) :H

    yes 8 months is enough and in my view all you can do is to wind up the miles week by week, presume you have the time for long sessions on road and/or trainer.

    Anything is possible with determination and time !

    To be able to get back on a bike and ride.

    The aim is to get the green light from my spinal surgeon to say my fusion is showing signs of taking, then get back on the off road paths. At some point I’m going to get back on the road.

    The major aim is to do a 100 ride or if I’m feeling good ride the first stage of last years tour.

    Ride the bike more! Managed to ride on 70% of days in 2014. Want to up that

    My riding is 99% utility, so want to ride the 17 mile commute to work even more often.

    Target is to get commute down to sub hour. Also to drop another 1 to 1.5 stone in weight by summer.

    I’d like to complete something like C2C in one day(or night), but that depends on personal circs permitting

    Get healthy and back to work
    Get healthy and back to work as off work since October. Ride more often, do a few sportives including a 100 miler, maybe join a club and try to improve climbing. Need to lose some weight and maybe book fitting for a custom bike build for my 45th birthday early in 2016 đŸ™‚
