Targets

[bash 73]

Hi all as title suggests do you as a newbie or seasoned rider set yourself targets for distance, climbing etc? I've created one this evening after reading about the tour of britain coming near us (oxfordshire) so i looked at 2 of there climbs, chinnor hill and kop hill. I have now created a route on strava called the big one! and aim to complete this before the end of october (fingers crossed)http://www.strava.com/athlete/routes.
Would be good to hear other peoples targets.
thanks

No targets at all, I'm a completely aimless cyclist ....

I want to up my distance but gradually longest ride I've done so far is just over 30 miles and that included a couple of quick water stops and a coffee break at half way.my main target is just continue enjoying it.I think it gives me a sense of freedom I can stop when and where I like for as little or as long as I want don't have to keep checking speed etc like in a car or trying to find a parking place...I think most of you know what I mean lol

A couple of targets this year. My usual is to do 3000 miles for the year. Last year I missed it by nearly 300 miles but this year it looks like I'll exceed it later this month if all goes well.

The other target is to complete the Metric Century a Month Challenge. This is my first time and I'm doing okay with it so far but there's a busy month coming up so I'm going to have to stop being such a fair-weather cyclist to complete it I suspect.

I try to avoid being a target . For some reason, Australian motorists get target fixation with cyclists here: it must be our fit, toned bodies and good looks, or something... They just can't resist us.
