    This time last year I said I was going to cycle 8000 miles. Im afraid I was just a little short of that total at 7238 miles though I think it was a good attempt.

    Not sure what goal im going for yet as this will be a year of change for me work wise and possibly not the usual 23 miles to work and back.

    Ill make a conservative estimate of 6500 miles but will be looking to do more.

    Has anyone else got plans for 2013 đŸ˜•

    Aims for the year are:

    1. Do 1000 miles per quarter
    2. Do at least one Sportive per quarter, increasing mileage in each event where possible
    3. Cycle from home (Kilmarnock) to the in-laws (Dundee) roughly 110 miles by end of third quarter
    4. Increase average speed
    5. Lose a stone in weight.

    If I can do all this by the end of the year I will be delighted. Lost three stone, quit fags and did my first sportive last year.

    that’s about it. I’d like to enjoy riding my bike as much as possible and cut down on the travelling to get to races, i.e 3 hours in the car for 20 minutes on the road, or even less for some hill climbs = not so good.

    Way out of my league!! Best 25 ive EVER done is 1’20”. Sounds like a realistic goal too. Respect for that

    Mill and Hills is from Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire. It’s actually called Mills Hills. But that just sounds wrong. Wore the wrong gear. Spent most of the route either overheating or shivering, often it felt at the same time.

    Cheers

    Heard of Hebden Bridge and think its near Dewsbury am I right. Yea its nasty when youve got the wrong clothing on. Enjoy the ride mate

    Go under 2:25 for the 52 mile route of the Great Manchester Cycle.

    Get out with the club as many Sundays as possible.

    If I manage to switch workplaces to somewhere that’s a good commuting distance, all the better.

    Last line sounds a bit like me nfe! Are ya a member of BC? Theyve got some cracking training plans!!

    Hoping with the help of training peaks to push my fitness a bit further this year, improve a few sportive times and get some better placings in MTB Marathons.
