What is your goal or goals for cycling in 2014?

[Ratty]

1 goal for me, to conquer Spionkop at the 2014 Berg and Bush. I want that little flag

[andrecapetown]

- Sub 5 hour Argus (my best is 5:09)

 

- Lourensford the (50km) sub 5 hour ( best is 5:15)

 

- TruCape do the long route (have not done the long route)

 

- not to do Argus MTB (has to be the most boring MTB event in SA)

 

[Pieter1]

To have as much fun as possible.

[BSG]

I had all great ideas of doing the Trans karoo and Tanka Karoo............

 

But at the momement my hope is to just to get back on my bike.

 

Lost my mojo....

I don't mind doing any of the Karoo races, I also need to get back that "mojo" you're talking about.

More of the same please! - I try do 2 mtb marathons a month, out and about GP, NW, FS, MP, KZN, even Limpopo if I have to, interspersed with outings to Groenies, Suikerbosrand, VG. And commute at least 3x during the week.

 

Would like to drop a few kg's of body mass though, so as to finish in time for the prize givings. Not that I mind being out there on the saddle all day though. Loosing weight means a starvation diet over Xmas, big ask!

 

I have all the sweet bikes I need, although converting the Prophet to 650b at some stage is the only item on the hardware agenda.

 

Love to make my 13th Argus happen (missed the last two). No time in mind, but sub 4 will be good And my 8th 94.7

 

And lots of family fun around event weekends.

More Km's for me if I can. Longer rides. More commuting, although does prove difficult at times... and one MTB stage race if possible... no, I'll make it possible!

I want to join a club.

 

I'd like to get road bike! But then I like my MTB....!

 

Promote cycling among my friends and business associates.

 

To ride somewhere new once or twice a month

 

Also start g to pen down my goals and yes a stage race is on there...

More km definitely

Commuting to work at least 60% of my year

As for the road bike.... Had one and sold it... Not for me

Join a club, yes... Looking for a mtb club in my area

Sub 2:45 94.7

Sub 3:10 Argus (seeding dependant)

 

Buy myself a badass road bike

 

Find a training partner that will push me to the limit.

 

[gummibear]

To ride less mtb and more road.

[Vanstone]

Sub 4 OFM Classic

Sub 4:30 94.7

 

1st 70km Trailseeker

1st MTB Stage Race

 

A sub-4 94.7 is easier than a sub-4 OFM (the former 94.7 km whilst latter 106 km with plenty wind and a few climbs), so try both sub 4

I'm also keen to do the 600km. Are you sure about the date?

[beanz]

Do Argus and tick it off.

Learn how to service and repair bikes (at least the less complex stuff - drivetrain etc).

Enhance technical riding skills and learn some new ones.

Do an enduro or two.

Do 2 weeks of riding in the Alps.

Help build and enhance some local trails.

Keep it tidy and stay in one piece.
