My own goals for this year are cycle related.

cover 1000 miles this.

Cover 50 miles on one ride

Find my climbing legs!

I would also like to maybe have a long weekend away cycling in the UK. Tempted to do coast to coast at the narrow bit.
You will achieve that👍... I go out mountain biking and road biking twice a week ,usually do 30 miles each trip on mountain bike some times more depending on how wet and muddy it is😁... Did a 64 mile trip on road bike last summer over Yorkshire dales in a day 👍.... Enjoy your biking 🍻🍻

P.s. how come you got rid of motorcycle?

Hi,

Yeah I think the target is very achievable. Last year I got a road bike in June and started going out twice a week and clocked up 500 miles from than. Just want to build things up gradually. Don't want the target to take the fun out of riding!

As for the motorbike I use to only have a motorbike for about 8 years than for about 2 years I commuted to work with my wife Abbie in the car. When I went back to only commuting by motorbike as her Job changed I just didn't enjoy it and couldn't afford both a car and a motorbike. Decided to give owning a car a go. Spent two weeks not enjoying the commute and decided its not the right attitude to ride a motorbike.

Motorcycle commuting, especially in heavy traffic is definitely one way of putting you off bikes. I sometimes have to remind myself that motorcycles at any other time are ace.

On the motorcycle this year it's either a wander down to Rome or over to Romania (I fancy a look round Transylvania). Either way it's going to be a 3 or 4 week trip 8-)

On the eMTB it's a train ride to a far-off place (OK maybe 30 or 40 miles) and a ride back along the trails or canals. Also maybe a camping trip to the Lakes as there's a good resource for MTB routes to investigate at http://www.pedalnorth.com/content/lake- ... mtb-routes
