Really wanted to review my 2017 goals – I had a very good biking year.
Increase my commuting, to the point where I am commuting most of the time by bike.
Not sure I beat 50% for the year, but I have been riding 3 or 4 days a week a LOT of the time.
Ride more miles total – 3000 is probably not an ambitious enough goal, but its a nice round number.
Definitely made this one – beat my new 4000 mile goal, and still a couple of weeks to go.
Go faster – try to get my average speed for my commute into work over 13MPH.Missed this one. I have been riding faster, getting PR’s, but I still don’t think I have broken 13MPH on any one commute. And have not gotten my Eddington Number much above 13.
Ride 100 miles with a bit more time to spare this time.
I did not even do a century in 2017.
Try riding over 25 miles without a rest stop.yes, have done this at least a couple of times.
Ride in a more challenging organized ride than 13 colonies.
Yup. Great Pumpkin and Cider rides. Oh, and Bobco’s Purple Line ride – that was sort of organized, eh?
Ride the length of the ART.
Done, I love this trail.
Ride the southern half of the GCCCT. Ride the full length of RCP/Beach Road, after it reopens. Ride the C&O from Georgetown to Great Falls.
These remain to be conquered.
Do better in BAFS, especially points. Use CaBi to sleaze like mad.
Did, but it was an easy winter.
Ride CaBi a lot more, get to know it better.
Done, also a bit of dockless at the end of the year.
Learn more about bike maintenance.
Still far from being my own wrench, but I am learning bits and pieces.
Do more advocacy with BPAC.
yes.
Do not have anything stolen.
Thank goodness.
Buy a new bike, a more aggressive one than my Dew.
I have been so happy with the Cannondale, not really a priority.
Get QOTM onto a bike again. Try to do a CaBi around the city day with her.Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Edit – Oh, and a big goal, not purely about biking, but mostly – get LDL cholesterol level down enough to get off statins entirely.
Yes and no. Great doc visit, but getting off statins would require an LDL level he does not think is achievable (because of family history,etc)
2018
exceed 2017mileage, whatever it turns out to be
At least match FS performance
Ride GCCCT all the way south to Occuquan
Ride C&O to Great Falls
Ride another century, with more time to spare
Break 13MPH commute
Eddington number to 14MPH.(I also need an elevation goal, but will reflect on that later)
