Re: [RBW] Goals for 2012
Well, let's see 1. Do this weeks 200k and enjoy it. 10-11 hours would be good. 2. Back in CT, do some events from the Berkshire,Boston, and VT Brevet series. 3. Get more embedded with this crowd. It will be much easier to be consistent if I can do this. However, I still find a low tolerance out there for breaking into cliques. People still treat their rides like they are prepping for the Tour, and while I like riding hard, I also like taking pics, and being able to look around. I already have a job, this is a way of offsetting the work experience. 4. Maintain good form but have fun doing it. 5. Do the Farmlands Century in NJ, 6. Sign up for Adventure Cycling CO Canal tour next Sept. 7. Attend the Riv Rally in PA. 8. Ride TFCE in RI. 9. Wander around VT a bit, as well as central MA. 10. Maybe do the D2R2. 11. Drop maybe 10-15 more lbs. Whew! On Monday, January 2, 2012, charlie cl_v...@hotmail.com wrote: Lost some fat weight..that was my goal for 2011.went from 282 to 257.

I do ride my bicycle but never more than 50 miles and usually between 1 and 30 with a regular 8.5 mile route. I don't believe exercise to be the biggie here important but probably only accounts for 20% with maybe 70% food choices and 10% proper sleep and stress reduction. Bicycle goals, build a cargo bicyclesell a few bicycles, ride a little more consistent because I enjoy it. Try some overnight bicycle camping trips.

Re: [RBW] Goals for 2012
My bike related goals for 2012 involve adventures I've been scheming on... Do a proper s24o -- I've driven to places and ridden the bike along a closed road to camp. I've done backpacking trips that had bicycle segments to speed a road walk, but never a proper s24o riding from my garage to a local camping spot. Do some sort of mini-tour/ s96o ride to/from/along the OR Coast. -- The house I grew up in was 3 miles via MUP to the sandy beaches of Huntington and Newport Beaches in Orange County, CA. Then I lived in Seattle for 10 years... never more than a couple miles from Puget Sound. In both those places I frequently rode my bike to the sea shore. This past fall, my wife, children and I moved to Portland, OR. There's a lot of water around but without salt in the air I sort of feel land locked. We're about 2 miles from a nice little park/beach on the Willamette River, but it's not saltwater. It's not the same. I've been researching options to bike to/from/along the coast. cheers, Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Goals for 2012
Hmmm. Goals. I'm not a goal oriented guy, so my goal will be about the same: have fun riding my bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
