I try to make my resolutions fun, things I want to do, and the resolution act says to me, "do it full on!" So my resolution right now is to get the rigid Niner built with as much silver as possible and with all the parts I like and not to put on compromises just because those are the norms in mountain biking.

 

Riv-related content: the build will have:

 

- Paul thumbies and shifters that I bought from Rivendell, 9-speed rear and friction front

- The Sugino XD crank that Rivendell has made me aware of and that I bought from them

- Some kind of medium Rivendell saddlebag hanging from the belooped saddle

- A steel rigid fork (from Niner, not Carbonomas but in that spirit)

- Albatross, do I dare? (I wish there was a threadless bullmoose.)

 

I'll post photos when it's done and hopefully be able to take it on the next So CA Riv Ride.

I'm not usually one for new year's resolutions, but since I was fairly successful at my one resolution in 2011 (non-bike-related, it was simply to eat oatmeal for breakfast more consistently), i thought i'd try a couple of modest ones this year. 

-One is to keep track of my riding a bit more.  I've never really liked riding with an odometer, and I'm trying to think less about distance and more about consistency, so counting miles or km isn't really good for me.  Instead, i've decided to try to keep a logbook, like the ones all pilots use to keep track of their flight hours.  I'm not being incredibly exacting about anything, just writing down the date of the ride and about how long I was out, a description of where I went, and how I was feeling in general. 
-Related to this is to try to ride--any distance--180 days out of the year (in the non-bike related realm I'd also like to write something at least 180 days as well). 

Other than that, even without resolutions, it will to be a pretty big year for me.  I'm getting married in July, and I'm also working on developing a research project for my PhD dissertation that I'm pretty excited about. 

Here's to it!
