You seem to prefer ruffling feather To start a fire unfortunately a few sparks are required, but when the meat comes out and the "Cadence " is flowing ,its love all round Yes , I do get carried away ...will add that to my list as well
Patchelicious Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 In what manner? Greater awareness and advocacy for bikes? Just being your pleasant Patchy self? Whats the strategy?Probably similar to this year. Maybe run a few more bicycle safety campaigns similar the #ConsiderateCycling one that BDF helped out with. Raise some more money for Aunty Mandy and her #iRide4Burry Foundation and #Helmets4Burry. Put some more money into junior cycling again. Would be keen to do some more Hub rides to help educate some of the beginners. But mostly to just generally try and treat fellow road users with respect, and positively reinforce good driver behavior, we will all benefit from a better image
J∆kk∆ls Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 In no particular order! Get a Sub3 at the CTCT Moving to the Netherlands. Participate in a few European Sportives. Cycle in the Alps.Start Track Cycling. Complete the Festive 500.Star work as a freelancer so I can cycle any damn time I please!
Jewbacca Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 My cycling goals for 2017 are the total opposite... After years of racing, putting pressure on myself to train smart and get faster, harder, scooter.... I shall be stepping back and just riding. My goals: 1. Look forward to every ride2. Get more comfortable at speed and in the air on the really rough stuff3. Service my fork more regularly4. Tig weld my 1st bicycle frame to be ridden at Ezelenduro5. Spend less time training and more time with my missus and making home6. Not travel further than 100km to a race other than EA in May. I shall by no means be getting unfit, fat and useless, just trying to bring back the joy of riding for riding sake. Clearing a double, wheelies through puddles, silky smooth drops... smiles and laughter. Ride like you're twelve....

Cheese Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I have definetily not put that much thought into it. Last year my goals were to do 12 000 km and see if I can keep up with VB.Did almost 13 000km and the racing thing did not go to bad so renewed my racing Licence for this year. 2017 goals 1. Improve bunch riding - Ride more to the front of bunches2. Improve my 94.7 position from 20163. Do my First Triathlon in 20 years. 70.3 distance.
Fruity Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Can't really plan my cycling resolution this year. Baby coming in April, and from there, I don't think there'll be much cycling happening for me for a while. Will see if I can sneak in the odd ride from time to time.
Sitting@89 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Cycle 12 000kmRun 2000kmSwim 500km Finish a 70.3

Johan_Kleynhans Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Not really New Year's resolution as I started cycling already in December but I am back on the bike after 15 years. Just want to enjoy it for a change and get fit and get rid of 20% of me.
'Kaze Pete Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 I need to run more than last year. Weigh leas than last year as well. Of course I need to ride more than last year as well
Johan_Kleynhans Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I need to run more than last year. Weigh leas than last year as well. Of course I need to ride more than last year as wellAs long as you enjoy it more. I promised myself that if I don't enjoy it I will stop.
