Nothing bike related really, I always aim to get over 2000 miles on the road bike but that never happens. Want to learn to ski or board and I just want to ride my mtb more in different places tbh. And continue putting on some muscle. Maybe do tough mudder again if my knee will let me.

Ski more this winter (if we have one)

Half Marathon in March

Cycle from the Idaho border to home (east of Seattle) on the John Wayne Pioneer Trail - bike packing style.

Do some mini bike overnights after work in the summer.

Do some of the NW Epic long distance XC races.

Hmmm, 12,000 road kms maybe? And get down to a 32" waist for the first time in 20 years. One may follow the other

Score more national rank points than I've ever done in one season yet, and not be last in a NPS race. A mix of xc and endurance races next year.

Well, a couple of people have floated the idea of a euro roadie trip (Pyramees or the Alps) to me.

And I've been thinking that I should do the 7-8 hour mixed route round the Cairngorms that I used to do BITD.

Plus, there that Round of Alford thing some people were mentioning on the #Jennride thread.

In order to do any of these I need to lose weight and get bike fit. I was this 3.5 years ago so there is no real excuse.

I also have some longstanding personal issues that need resolved (one way or another). But then, who doesn't.

Will the gravity of the planet be affected if all the weight loss mentioned in this thread is actually achieved?

Now the challenge should be to do the tour of the peaks in a day - 70 miles and 300m of climbing , should be doeable

Learning to ride a horse.

Riding a horse in the Alpujarras whilst having a new bathroom installed.

Getting home and luxuriating in the new bathroom.

Happy days.

Aiming for a solo 24hr race, mountain mayhem is top of the list. Still have to convince my pit team (wife and kids) however...

Ride the Marmotte route. Get up Alpe D'Huez sub an hour, though not on the same day.

[url= http://www.ramsaysround.com ]Ramsay's Round[/url] Running obviously, not on the bike. That would be silly.

BHF SDW in a day for me too. That's it at the moment as shifts and new baby don't allow much time for anything else.
