Standard stuff for me, get fitter, less booze and lose some weight

oh and stop Smashing into Gts mum so often!

Any one else bother with this sort of rubbish that will only last a week or two?

    My view on New Year Resolutions
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Pretty much this, I've ridden about three times in the last few months due to a massivly hectic schedule and as a result gained about a stone.

    I'm going skiing for a fortnight in 6 weeks so need some serious enthusiasm and comitment to staying (almost) dry for Jan.

    +1 for me as well. My downfall is the booze, if I can knock it right down, it'll be plain sailing. Trouble is, it just tastes so moorish.

    Can someone explain the point of a turbo trainer, no scenary, no tech sections, no falling off, no getting wet, no adrenalin rush, and £80+ I could spend on the bike.

    NYR is to try and understand TT's - perhaps!

    Agreed, no point, buy yourself a fatty and ride anywhere in any situation!
    Good training too, I have legs more powerful than you average bear!

    Well where I live through the winter we have (almost) constant high winds, high enough that it's not safe to ride outside, on or off-road. I agree, if I lived somewhere else I would just spend the money on the bike, but unfortunately...

    So far this winter we have had 4 instances of hurricane force winds, once with the wind speed (not gusts, average) being well over 90 m.p.h. I've lived where I do for 7.5 years and it's been about the same every year...

    Also, we have very little daylight, while the sunset and sunrise times are similar to much of the uk, it just doesn't get very bright in between, to ride times are restricted to around 10 till 1430, and as I'm at at/going to school from 8-1630 during the week, and at weekends have to do 2 hours on a morning (I work best in the am), I quite often miss out.

    Summers are good though!

    I'm at school, not an option. I'm happy where I am, and I will be leaving to go to uni.

    Where in Scotland do you live!? I know many a Scotch lad that would beat you to a pulp for your excuses! The wind just makes you stronger, and lights were invented to help with dark places

    Lights are expensive, I'm at school, I'm actually English, I'm not interested in arguing over it, I was just sating that that's why I have a turbo. CC I know.

    They'd beat you to a pulp for referring to them as "Scotch" too.

    No resolutions for me... Commitment just isn't my thing.

    That said, I have put on a shit ton of weight and have only ridden about 5 times since the CC2CC, so my aim this year is to ride more and lose a whole shit ton more weight than I put on.
