Having just had the second operation on my broken collarbone to remove the screws I'm again off the bike for a while, but I hope to be riding again at the beginning of next week, so my target is still possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Col5632]

Think i will be making my target closer to 2,500 miles next year, only managed 878 last year so im chuffed with this year and hope to build on it next year

i need to sort out a niggling knee problem as i can do more than 20 miles without some form of pain that puts me off attempting longer rides! may adjust my cleats again and raise the saddle a notch. i "only" need 11.5 miles a day to hit my target (but can only get 11 a day if i ride in and back 5 days a week) MTB at lunch it is then!!!

What's the standard increase on goals for the next year then ? 5% ? 10% ?

No idea, I think its just down to you; I've never been good with targets myself I just enjoy the ride.

It took me until the very last day of the year last year to hit my target, went for the same again this time but quickly became evident I would achieve it much easier, have since increased it.
Anyway, the original target was reached yesterday

Now just got to do the extra 800 before the end of the year

I aimed for 5,000 this year, having hit my 3,500 mile target last year.

The 5,000 was hit at the end of September so I upped it to 6,000. Looks like this will be hit sometime in November/early December but it'll be staying at 6,000. I'm taking part in a carbohydrate drinks trial, which is limiting bike use on Thurs/Fri as well.

Next year will be 6,000 as well since I'm doing tri training - need to find time to fit in 2 extra sports. Also, the events have shorter bike legs so the long events I did won't happen as much.

You're still behind me though .... . Time to get

Must admit my yearly target has been the same for this and the past 3 years. 10'000 miles. It's just enough to keep me on the bike to meet the targets.

 

[HLaB]

I think I aimed for the national annual average (circa 47miles) and passed that in my first ride or two.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

I picked 10,000 km as it is a nice round number, and with less than 600km to go it looks pretty good to meet that nae bother. However, I normally work 2 weeks every month offshore, so in theory only have 6 months in a year to hit the target, so did not really have any idea how it would go, but declaring a public target certainly prompts you to get out even when it is a bit Rule #9 out there. I think I will tack a bit on again for 2013.

do I see a gauntlet being thrown down ?

 

[endoman]

got to my 6000 mile goal, but got fed up of entering the data, and currently doing loads more on the turbo so have abandoned it!
