Well, my list will probably hurt Jim (he's my LBS) - 1. No bike purchases. Bought 3 last year. Got rid of same amount. So net gain was zero. But with these, am pretty well set for the long term. 2. Finally (hopefully) drop that last 10 pounds. To make the weight loss an even 150. 3. Make the transition to wearing XL clothing. (see above). Hey, not much for most. But (not so) big for me. 4. More S24Os. Did 3 last year. Would like to do 4 Maybe find a second place to camp. 5. Try a weekend tour. Hard to do with work/music obligations.
(BTW, #3 is actually Riv-related. Grant explained to me the extra cost of making XXL clothing and the minimum orders required. Want to give him less of a reason to order those items.) There are others goals out there. But not Riv (or bike) specific.
