Move house, ride the bike more and talk about riding less, get to 10 stone"Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

More downhill and get back to 11 stone."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

I don't see how I can realistically find time to cycle more, I have done circa 6000km the last 2 years running, so I shall be looking to incorporate a more structured approach to my training while taking my diet a little more seriously.
I have a couple of trips that are likely to push me out of my comfort zone in 2015, so will be training with them in mind.0 -
Tough goals!
I have never tried to get up to 10, 11 or 12 stone, but I did once try to gain 5kgs and had to eat all kinds of sh1t I wouldn't normally consider eating, so I do appreciate what you have gone through to achieve your current weight, well done!my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -
5K miles, buy a house, more windsurfing, more sailing, more bike racing. More cooking.0

Can't be arsed to make grandiose plans for the new year, I have entered the London 100 ballot so maybe I'll be doing that and as my brother in law now lives two miles from the starting point of the London to Brighton course we're planning to ride there and back on the day.
Beyond that I'll try to ride a bit more and eat a bit less and see what occurs!!0 -

2014 was a year with tons of downs for me, both in terms of my personal life and my cycling. It was also the year of working way too much, with no where near enough time on the bike. I think I managed around 1500km in total, even with commutes added in.
My main goal for 2015 is to find the energy to get a ride in after work at least twice a week, and one at the weekend. I also want to make sure I get a least 3 commutes in per week.0 -

Finish my studies.
Start a new career or get onto a PhD course.
Go out on my bike for an actual proper ride for the first time since 2013. That'll happen sometime after October this year.
Try not to break my leg 2 weeks before the birth of my second son. Which will be a big improvement over the birth of my first son.0 -

This year I've done 2,250 miles with 144,000ft of climbing, so next years target is 4,000 miles and 300,000ft of climbing. Generally getting fitter and faster, I've dropped 8kg this year from 75-67kg, or at least I had before the last couple of weeks excesses. 65kg should come naturally with more riding.0

10 k kms total distance
Ride 200 km in a day.
Enjoy myself0 -
Learn to drive (starts Jan 6th).
Buy a car.
Get out on the mountain bike more.
200 mile ride.
Go touring, even if it's just a long weekend.
Get back into rock climbing (maybe).
Move away from Stoke.
Should all be easily achievable but somehow I failed on all counts this year.0 -

Main aim to get a lot more miles in on the bike.Dropped 2 1/2 stone since August,and hoping to be down to 13st by the beginning of August,would mean a total loss of just over 5 stone.
Aiming for first 50 mile ride in a couple of months and then a 100 miler by the end of the year.
Also saving for first serious roadbike next winter,really fancy a BMC.0 -
