You should have bought an Anthem Beginner or Intermediate maybe haha

 

Hope they weren't serious falls and you're ok, and more importantly, is the bike ok?

bike survived, me not so much, 3 months recovery in progress

2016 has been a great year. Achieved way beyond what was set out at the beginning of the year. Now the next chapter needs to be written on distant shores.

A bunch of yes and some no on my side too. 

 

2016 highlights:

 

- Youngest daughter moved in with me full time and we've got a schedule going!

- Started my post grad which will finish in 2017. Getting decent marks!

- Had a good year at work.

- Ran my first marathon

- Surfed some of the biggest waves I have this past winter and more amped than ever!

I caught a stage of la Vuelta but missed catching a stage of Le Tour. Next year we will get to a stage of both!

 

I did an amazing amount of riding this year but need to make it more structured if I want to keep my fitness.

 

Made some good "new" friends here, but miss some good "old" friends back in SA :-(

 

Overall it's been a good year. As my school reports always used to say "could do better if he tried . . . ."

You didn't just catch a stage of the Vuelta you possibly caught the best stage of all of the Grand Tours this year.[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji322]

Mmmm for me...well.. no I don't know if honestly didn't keep track of this year it went past way too fast.

 

But ending it on a high.. have done more trapping the last 2-3 weeks than I have done all year.

 

My kids are still awesome

My husband is incredible as always.

 

All in all a good year.. I don't keep score but we are happy.

 

PS..Sagan is king of the world... so a great year.

Yes and no. Wanted a $ seeding for the stellenbosch cycle tour and wanted to keep up with the front group. Got the seeding after some really hard racing and overcoming 3 illnesses in one year, only to be involved in a massive crash at the Langebaan lagoon challenge. Put me out for the rest of the year. So close, only to lose it at the second. last race. On the positive, I haven't be sick since!

[Boerklong]

Nope

 

Had so many aspirations. To the contrary, everything went pear-shaped

Yep had pretty good year on bike... Was off bike for over 3 years. Started year at 120kg and lost 30kgs in about 30 weeks. Rode my first one tonner in 6:20 my first CDC in exactly 8hrs and Stellenbosch tour in 3:03 so very chuffed with achieving what I set out to do. And still very happily riding my bike

[shaper]

Have my health, a little wealth and in a better place than many, so pretty much achieved all that I needed, to live another year, live it and enjoyed it.....

You are absolutely right Gen. That actually was amazing!

 

We were standing beside the road in Sabinanigo and I was reading Hub updates on my phone. I honestly thought I was reading about the previous days stage! Froome was dropped AND isolated, Contador and Quintana in the break etc. Then five minutes later, barely 30km into the race - the breakaway group go past with Contador grimacing in effort. it was unforgettable. That was the day Froome lost la Vuelta.

 

Of course we also met the Main Cheese too . . . . :-)
