    Assuming you can keep the pace up for the whole hour! a 25 is a different beast to a 10 (as you know!)

    Missed my cat 2 by 3 points last season, so that would be great!

    To get my FTP up to around 280-300 would be a bonus.

    To win a race or two would be the icing...
    Up hup hup hup.....fricking hate that!

    This is another one of mine, and one I am quietly confident of, its the sub 22:00 which I think I am going to struggle with.

    a 22 min 10 =27.27 mph
    a 1 hour 25=25 mph

    Although lots of people do loose speed over the two distances, its not by much. And FWIW my 25 speed is faster than my 10 speed.

    my 10 pb is 22.17 and my 25pb is 55.32 so my 25 is a faster average speed, i find 25s easier to pace, although if i get good conditions i am pretty sure i can sneak into the 21s for a 10 and 54s for a 25 on our club course. I wouldn't mind doing a super fast UK course to see what i could do but i don't want to waste a trip away on a tt when i could do a road race

    Finish the Beacon RC LMTT!
    See Markos at the gas Hill Challenge!...
    Drop another 5kgs...

    Times are plucked out of the air... as long as I better all this seasons times, I'll be happy... ish!!!
    Going to have a pop at 50 TT's, maybe try a hundred, too.

    I would say if you can do a sub 22 min 10 you can def do a sub 1 hour 25.

    For reference I am on a 22.55 for a 10 and 56.35 for a 25.

    ... coincidentally my aim is sub 22 min 10 this year :D

    Totally agree, Joey... But, they are both targets... Have to get one to get the other. :wink:
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!

    I have this *problem* too. I'm hoping that a winter of track racing is going to cure it!

    I am going to add another primary goal, though it is arguably secondary in that the race results are what matter not body weight, but I would like to get under 80Kg by May, which might go some way to helping me hit the other targets....

    This post made me think about past goals. In 2009 I wanted to get a sub 30:00 in a 10m TT. I was a bit surprised how quickly that came. This year I'd like to do better in the road races I entered last year which essentially means finishing wioth at least a couple of other riders around me. I'd also like to beat the times I set in a couple of hilly TTs I did.

    Is 280 good then?

    Keep cat 2 and get some points instead of making up the backmarkers.

    Work less and do more mid-week focussed sessions.

    Break 80kg barrier like I did in 08 when I was 78 kgs (this AM Jan 1st I was 84.4).

    Choose a worthwhile cycling goal on the continent where I can ride a tough event and do something afterwards to please the other half.

    Come out of March Mallorcan camp stronger and lighter than in past years.

    Sort out the gastic reflux & chest pressure I get when I go full out.

    Not wanting to detract from anyone whose aim is to get a 3rd cat license, but i do hope you ACTUALLY mean 'becoming a competant, safe and consistent racer'.

    this is why I am wanting to score my point in (2/)3/4 races...makes it harder, makes it seems like you have earned it and will make me a better rider.

    Oh. I was hoping to win a single race because of a major pile up that takes out the competetion, that I probably cause through my incompetent, dangerous and irratic racing.

    So your assumption is that all 4th cat racers are incompetent, unsafe and inconsistent racers?

    Nice.
