    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 😕

    Go under 28 minutes for a 10.

    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.

    Great challenge for La Marmotte. Enjoy!!

    Last year I aimed to complete a 200k audax and managed to achieve that by March, I then aimed for the Brevet 1000 (5 x 200) which I failed to do after running out of time on my fifth at about 180k. This year I intend to achieve the Brevet 1000, and complete my first 300k audax. Not bad progress for someone who a few years ago weighed 28 stone and had difficulty cycling more than 4 miles.

    Nothing but respect for all youve done FMOAB. Been showing the lads at work yer post to show they can get fit if they want to. Well done mate.

    I started last year with plans to do 5000 miles, I ended up doing 5000 km due to injury and illness.

    My aim this year is to build on that and beat 2012’s total and stay injury free.

    Hope it goes well for ya mate 🙂

    Geez respect to OP on mileage, I have a plan of a mere 3000miles for this year in comparison. Wanna do a night time coast to coast and potentially join a club as well as a few sportives.

    Which C to C are ya thinking of doing. Id like to have a go at the Way of the Roses from Morecombe to Bridlington at 170 miles. Too far for a nighttime ride? Dunno. Respect to you for whichever way ya go at it Spooks
