2010 Targets

NWLondoner

Ok so as 2009 draws to a close what cycling targets have you all set for yourselves for 2010?

For me 2009 was hit and miss but still an improvement on 2008.

Distance wise I want to do at the very least 500km per month. Considering I only cycle at weekends this should be achievable, however as we all know it only takes 1 or 2 missed rides and your targets can get blown out of the water.


As for sportives i have a few in mind but to be honest want to concentrate on increasing my distance,speed and stamina.


Fingers crossed will have a mild January and February :roll:

To lose 3 stones! :shock:

Frank the tank

Simple really, climb back on the bike and endevour to "grow into" a slim-fit shirt Mrs tank bought me for chrimbo by losing between 1.5/2-0stones. :shock: That, and have a Birmingham hip operation and survive that.

So given my low lack of morale at the mo it's gonna be tough, but I'm sure the Mrs will prod/poke and take the p1ss enough for me to get off my fattening @rse and do sommat about it.

Slapshot

lose loads of weight!!!!
5000Km on the bikes/Trainer, be better than almost nil this year

shockedsoshocked

Lose about 8kg by April (currently about 78kg)
Win/Perform in races.
Get 2nd cat.

Gazzaputt

Last 7 weeks have been hell with one illness after another.

For 2010 I certainly want to avoid being so susceptible to infections. Also need to gain back the fitness that 7 weeks off the bike have lost.

2009 was a great year for my fitness. Rode just over 4500miles average of 19.1mph.

Goal for 2010 is the Alps and the Marmotte. Like to get a decent time in.

This is the Internet, surely you mean loose?

Me-

Finally get down to a decent weight and finally to enter some races!

Century

Ride up th'Alpe d'Huez, Galibier and Telegraphe.

Stop spending money on BikeSwagtm.

Do a decent club 10.

Post more on Bikeradar.

Ride up Artist's Lane in less than 5 mins.

Basically, to have a better year than the shocking 2009 because in 2009 I

1 - Didn't lose any weight and din't enter any races due to leg breaking x 3

2 - Only managed a 70 miler due to the reason 1 above

3 - Rode up a few hills in the Peaks

4 - Bought 3 new bikes and all sorts of bling

5 - Only managed a 26.12 due to reason 1 above

6 - Only 5000 posts?!?

7 - Rode up Artists lane in 6 mins

Fit enough to enjoy my Pyrenean coast to coast in June

takethehighroad

To see some races in Europe, Paris Roubaix is a very much must watch.

Just to get out riding again, I haven't done so for a while after I broke my collarbone.

voxegam

- Win my first race of the season
- 2nd Cat
- 7000 miles
- Buy more bike stuff

Just ride more miles next year, which is a consistent goal of mine and something I've achived every year since promising that I would. It's a great motivator in weather like this, case in point yesterday, I went out purely because I was getting close to doubling last year's mileage.
Not interested in racing or sportives either really, though I will probably get persuaded to enter one or two. I'm off to the Alps in July so hopefully I'll tackle some alpine passes.

2009 was a good year until I was knocked off my bike in October. I managed:
- 6 rides over 100k (did six over 100 miles)
- 3 laps of Richmond Park in under an hour (57.47 in March)
- 1 ride over 100 miles (did one over 200k)

Didn't manage to manage to meet my 6,000 miles for the year target though as I have been off the bike since October. I will probably keep the same targets this year as last year. I started the 2009 season being reasonably fit, but after not being able to ride for so long I am fat and unfit so it is going to bar far more challenging in 2010!

ademort

This year i rode 17,243Kms and want to go as near as possible to the 20,000 as i can for 2010.

A happy new year to all forum members.

salsarider79

To ride over 5000miles this coming year. That would be easy if I had any motivation. If I was in Norfolk with my friends again, I'd beat that easily. I've worked out that 4 days a week at work and a 60mile+ ride at the weekend would do it. Now all I need is motivation.
Also, get a motorbike. I have my licence, but after a crash in August, I haven't ridden. Mind you, if I get a motorbike that could be very bad for cycling motivation.... :twisted:

snakehips

This year was my first go at the 100 km per month challenge and while not unhappy with my total I hope to do better in 2010. I may also have a go at the RPTLC which I skiped in 2009.

In short I intend to do more cycling , on and off road.

My goals are much the same as last years: a bunch of 200km audaxes.

Last year was a washout due to being totally disorganised. Hopefully I've got it sussed now and I'll be able to ride more regularly.

If I can fit a 100km ride in before the end of Jan I might do the Metric Century Challenge. I hope to be doing at least 1 x 100km ride a week from March.

I've got my eye on a 300km audax, but I'll leave deciding on that until nearer the time.
