    So what’s everyone’s biking resolutions?

    Mine is to ride as many new places and as much as possible.

    So far got a trip booked to Scotland which will be the first time I’ve ever crossed the boarder, Dumfries to be accurate. Nothing else concrete as yet. I’d also really like to do Snowdon, which will be my first ever proper mountain.

    Oh, and hopefully some riding in Marin County during our belated honeymoon in May on the US West coast!

    I only managed 1600 miles on my road bike this year so I’d like to improve on that, gonna aim to double it as I’ve been slacking loads!

    Really need to ride more new places as well so I sense a few more road trips. And if I can afford it after sorting my new house out I want to go for a short break with Ride Portugal this summer.

    Scottish borders in June, for the 10th year. Always good. Pyrennese in May, first time on the bike in proper mountains in years and can’t wait. Do a couple more of these new fangled Enduro things. No plans apart from that as I don’t know where in the country I’ll be working after March.

    Not been off-road for three months following injury – so I feel like I’m starting from scratch again! Hope to build back up to some semblance of fitness (did 21 miles on the road the other day and it nearly finished me off). Resolution is to not have another major OTB ! Happy new year all.

    Mine is just to get fitter, loose a bit of weight and ride more.

    I can probably count the proper mtb rides I’ve done this year on my fingers!!

    Don’t do NY resolutions as such, but the challenge is to ride up more hills, and explore further afield.

    I’m going to ride into work more. I started 2013 pretty well but let it slide badly later on, which is no good.

    To be fitter than last year and get out twice a week on the road and twice a week offroad plus offroad at the weekends.

    Do a 100 miler on the Road Bike.

    Get out at least 5 times a week on the MTB for an hour each time – easy to do if I can persuade myself to get out of bed an hour earlier.

    I’ve done 2,500 miles on the bikes this year, I want it double that in 2014………

    More events, maybe even a road race.

    Build a CX for next winter.

    1. To ride 100 miles per week, on and off road, including commuting.

    2. To not buy another bike.

    3. To enter an event every month. (Great Yorkshire Bike Ride, Dunwich Dynamo, Calderdale MTB Marathon, etc)

    Be as fit as in previous years.

    Not be such a big girls blouse on steep technical stuff.

    I recently put on a super-tacky Chunky Monkey front tyre, it has made the world of difference to my riding on techy stuff – especially the steep off-piste trails we’ve around here.

    Keep improving my riding in technical sections, that way I’m not losing out so much in cross races when it gets tricky.

    To not get sucked into training and racing (on or off road), I want to enjoy riding more and feel like I did before competition took over from the stoke of just pedalling with mates…

    I want to get out of the trialcentres a bit more- don’t get me wrong, I love them (and purpose-built off-piste stuff, and dh courses, and that) but every time I stir off my arse and go somewhere totally different I realise how much I can miss.

    Oh and more arguing on the internet.

    I didn’t have any, then saw this –

    “to still feel like a kid when i ride”

    Reminded me that im getting a bit too hung up on being “good”, by good, i mean most other peoples interpretation of good, ie being the fastest. Doesn’t help that i generally ride with people who race DH/4X pretty seriously.

    I ride bikes to piss about with mates in the woods, just like i did as a kid, keep on forgetting that.

    I just want to ride my bike as much as I can and would like to ride more new places.

    Hopefully we’ll have another nice summer which will make the above much easier!

    Also want to get my single speed finished for something a bit different.
