My (bike) goals for 2011...

1. Ride more. More often, further, with friends.
2. Drink less beer. Like 60 gallons instead of 180 gallons.
3. Make some skate deck pedals to sell.
4. Publish some useful explanatory bicycle diagrams on my blog.
("Reverse-threading" poster, maybe)
5. Sell the low-trail touring bike, the Automatic hub and a bunch of
parts.
6. Buy a workstand.

Happy goal-setting!

I am planning to clean the drive train regularly.  I cleaned it
Saturday and it was a mess.  Huge chunks of gloppy stuff flying off
the cassette, caked on stuff scrapped off the derailleur cogs etc.
Deep down I knew the cassette was shinny silver and not dull black but
I didn't realize how shinny. I was also surprised to see the chain has
shiny bits in it.

So...instead of the "whenever I think about it" schedule I will clean
it "every so often".  That may do the trick.

Ditto on the simplification of belongings and activities etc. More
time should be spent on relationships with people and for me taking
better care of my health.
Riding goals are to only ride as often as I enjoy it. I suffered quite
a bit of discomfort over the last few months with pelvic bone area
damage so I am off my upright bike for an undetermined amount of time
and will instead ride my recumbent to which I am glad I did not sell
as I had previously planned. Actually, I plan to ride less overall and
instead focus on weight training and my diet so that I may eventually
ride more in the summer months. One dimensional exercise routines seem
to result in eventual injury or inflexibility issues for me.  I wanted
a Simple One but am putting that on hold againI've always
wanted a Rivendell frame but purchasing one continues to elude me.

Actually may seem weird, but -
1. Ride less.  Put in the most mileage this year of any in my life.
And ended up 10 pounds heavier for it.  Not good.  Especially as the
original goal was to lose 20 more pounds.

2. Play and practice guitar more.  Yeah, it's not directly bike
related.  Really felt was ignoring friends and good social situations
to go out for a ride instead.  Also, my playing dropped to minimal
levels of tolerable.  Need to remedy this.  Especially with new (to
me) guitars.

3. More S24Os.  Only one this year.  And that was pretty late.

4. More metric centuries.  Seems to be the best compromise.  But
holding for maybe one "real" century.  If everything is right.
Preferably on the Hillborne.  Figure as the one this year was not on a
Rivendell, it doesn't count.

5. More photography from/with the bike.

Cycling goals for this year:

Stay healthy enough to keep riding.  2008-10 included five eye
surgeries, passing a stone, a badly sprained ankle and a massive UTI
all of which knocked my off of the bike long enough to lose a bunch of
fitness.
Ride at least one full century (that would be my first since ~1993),
maybe a 200k if all goes well.
Get a bike dialed in for mixed-terrain riding, and get off of the
pavement some.
Get my 1984 Miyata 1000 back on the road as my regular commuter,
replacing the Kogswell I commuted on last year.
Build a new set of 650b wheels (Dyad rims and Phil hubs are in house,
waiting on spokes) and either find a 650b setup I'm fully happy with
or bail out of that size and go back to 622 and 559 only.

Wow. Goals? There was a goals thread last year? Huh. I don't remember
that one.

Here goes:

--Learn to work out at a gym (getting a head start on this as Sweetie
and I gave each other gym memberships for Chanukah) so I can get
stronger, more flexible and reduce stress.
--Ride more often, even if not for longer distances.
--Remember that I ride because it's still the loveliest way to get
from place to place.
--Find ways to help my Sweetie be more comfortable on/interested in
riding her bicycle, without making her feel nervous or pressured about
it.
--Stop being such a grump and cynic about the state of the world, and
focus more on the good that is, and that is possible.

Happy riding in 2011! --beth

I'm thinking along the same lines.

- Simplify stuff.  Minimize all the stuff I keep to the basics (maybe
3 instead of 4 bikes!).  Consume more thoughtfully.
- Ride a lot, drive even less
- Enjoy family

2010-12-31 Thread Montclair BobbyB 
Happy New Year to all.  2010 was a really awesome "bike year" for me.
I bought my first Rivendell (for starters... WOO HOO!!!)  Some of the
memorable things from 2010 included a trip to the National Bike Summit
in Washington (I arrived on bike), a week of awesome mountain biking
in Colorado (Crested Butte and Monarch Crest), and did some fantastic
rides in my own backyard.  But what brought me the most joy was
renaissancing (and giving away) some really beautiful bikes.  I didn't
realize how busy I was until I counted them up... I actually
"produced" (ie built up/configured/renaissanced) a total of 10 bikes
this year, giving away six of them to family members, who rediscovered
their lost love of riding through these bikes... gee, no wonder I had
so much fun.

Here's a list of the bikes I produced:

The One / Beer Truck (1985 Stumpjumper renaissance) -
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/4415139338/in/set-721576235...
Son of Beast - 2007 Salsa Ala Carte (roadster)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/4105602987/in/set-721576226...
Drumpy - (1984 Stumpjumper) 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/4470313095/in/set-721576235...
The Mongo Rando - (1985 Mongoose ATB)
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/4766606606/in/set-721576243...
Trek 950 - 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/4521901555/in/set-721576237...
Princess Fiona - late 80s Giant Rincon
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/4778621704/in/set-721576237...
Big White Boy - 1990 Giant ATX 770 commuter (no photo)
Peter Lemonjello - 1989 yellow Rockhopper commuter with vintage parts
- no photo
Rivendell Bombadil build up - 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/5024006043/in/set-721576250...
Mongo Drumbo (1985 Mongoose ATB) -
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16461...@n04/5310495384/in/set-721576257...

I can't imagine repeating all this in 2011, but I do have a few cool
ideas planned, including:

Hosting Riv Rally East, May 6-8 in Wellsboro PA ... WOO HOO!!!
Renaissancing his and hers Gazelle Sport Luxe bicycles, converting
from single speed coaster to 3 speed drum-brake.
Renaissancing (with period parts) an early 1983 (Tim Neenan)
StumpJumper
Resurrecting a dormant, once-renaissanced 1985 Rockhopper
Converting my 1986 Nishiki Prestige SS to both a 2-speed version and a
fully-geared version...

ALSO, Philip Williamson (aka BikeTinker) and I will be administering
the Renaissance Bicycles Group, picking up the torch from Bryan Luce
of Renaissance Bicycles.  I know that many folks in this group
regularly restore, renaissance or otherwise rejuvinate older bikes...
I'd like to invite you all to join this group, link your posts, or
simply add it to your favorites -

Hope your 2010 was great, and 2011 is even greater

Angus,

Some of our 2011 goals overlap...

Time in the garage
Mineral Wells Rail Trail
Katy Trail
DIY LED

Since I live north of Fort Worth, I'd be happy to join you for the
Mineral Wells Rail Trail ride, if you're looking for company.  I rode
out there with a friend to the State Park this year for an over-
nighter and had a great time...

2.  Simplify- simplify the demands on my time, simplify my excessive collection 
of belongings that I don't use.

1. Finish another super randonneur series and finish each brevet a

2. A sub-14hr 300k.
3. Do either a 1000k and/or Fleche.
4. More S36Os.

6. Continue to learn how to work on my bike.
7. Read more.

My main winter goal was to sell my Rambouillet which isn't much of a
goal but it's tough for me to part with stuff and even tougher to
actually deal with selling stuff. I have a bunch of bike parts I need
to sort through and sell. I also need to figure out what I'm gonna
replace the Rambouillet with.

That's 2 San Francisco to SoCal riders, I'll make it 3.  Sounds like
the makings of a Rivendell tour.  Nor Cal riders could take the train
back to Bay Area.  Think about it, boys'n'girlssummertime, the Big
Sur coast, tailwinds.  Out of area riders can fly into SFO & out of
LAX or San Diego.

A worthy goal:  "Complete multi-day, self supported bike tour."

I think I'll keep mine simple.

1. Ride at least one 200km Brevet
2. Bike tour from SF to LA
3. Do two s24o's ( one off road)

I'd love to commute but it's 26 miles OW with some very busy hi-way
sections.
Hopefully I'll solve that when I relocate to Northern San Diego
County, (hopefully this year).

2010-12-31 Thread doug peterson 
Any day that I'm pushing the pedals is a good day, whether it's 10
miles or 70 miles.  As to goals, my daughter wants to try a 4 day tour
near her home so I'm the enabler & coach on that.  Put together a
guest bike to leave at her house so I don't have to ship the
Atlantis.  Caveat: said guest bike to be built from whatever is
currently in the garage, no parts purchases allowed (so I may be
trading for stuff!).  Now that my wife has the mini-lantis, it should
be easier to drag her away from the desk & onto the bike.  A couple of
double Atlantis tours should be an achievable goal.

brevet on March 20. I run a 200K and 300K through the St. Louis region. 
More info here: http://www.rognstads.com/brevets/ If you cannot make the

I think I did a good job on 1, 3 (sort of), 8, 9 and 10.

For 2011:
1.  Spend more time in the garage.
2.  Ride the Katy Trail.
3.  Three to four rides/week, once of them to work.
4.  Ride the Mineral Wells Rail Trail, out and back, on the Quickbeam,
fixed.
5.  Map a mixed terrain (spelled correctly this time) ride starting
from my front door.
6.  Continue searching out other East Texas riding areas.
7.  Continue to support RBW and my LBS.
8.  Finish that DIY LED light I started.
9.  Solve the Atlantis BB "clunk"
10.  Eliminate the Rambouillet "gear noise"

Even simpler for me:
1. Not get dead.
2. Have fun whenever possible.

Sounds like my kind of plan!  (The waking up part includes ample
consumption of coffee).

Happy New Year!

I remember this.

Like many of you, my kids come first, so these are all contingent!

1. Complete a SR series
2. Commute 2x per week (now an 11 mile commute, formerly a quarter
mile)
3. Tour SF-SD this summer (or at least to the train station in Santa
Barbara)
4. Ride the Riv on some epic routes around Paris (ideas accepted).

[RBW] Re: Goals for 2011:

2010-12-31 Thread William 
2010 was kind of a re-awakening to cycling for me.  I almost
completely turned over my stable, and developed a vision of what my
cycling life is hopefully going to shape up to be in the next decade
or 3.  My 2010 cycling highlights were the 2 S24O's I did (plus all
the buying stuff).  I just recently signed up for RUSA and am going to
try randonneuring for the first time.  My 2011 cycling goals include:

1.  Do my first 200k brevet
2.  Do another 200k brevet
3.  Do a 200k brevet in under 10 hours
4.  Do a 300k brevet
5.  Set up the garage as a proper workshop
6.  4 S24Os
7.  Ride more with the wife and kids
8.  Ride to work at least once a week
9.  Ride to and from work at least once a month
10.  Do one overnight night ride

Wake up. Everyday. I'll figure out what the goals are after that.

[RBW] Re: Goals for 2011:

2010-12-31 Thread Mike 
Angus, that's a pretty good list of goals and accomplished items.

For myself, I feel I rode a tad less this year but still had a ton of
fun, hit some new roads and did a ton of riding on platform pedals and
in regular clothes which was really rewarding. My main riding goal for
the past 3 yrs has been wrapped up in randonneuring. My goals for next
year:

1. Finish another super randonneur series and finish each brevet a
little faster.
2. A sub-14hr 300k.
3. Do either a 1000k and/or Fleche.
4. More S36Os.
5. At least one multi-day bike tour.
6. Continue to learn how to work on my bike.
7. Read more.

My main winter goal was to sell my Rambouillet which isn't much of a
goal but it's tough for me to part with stuff and even tougher to
actually deal with selling stuff. I have a bunch of bike parts I need
to sort through and sell. I also need to figure out what I'm gonna
replace the Rambouillet with.
