As 2020 FINALLY wraps up it’s time to start thinking about what we want to achieve in the upcoming year, both from a cycling and/or personal standpoint. One way to mentally commit to a goal is to make it public, since it then gives your mind some accountability for achieving it.
So for 2021, what are you challenging yourself to achieve in the world of cycling, and in life? Maybe we will revive this in a year and people can go back and let us know if they were able to accomplish what they set out to, and how.
My goals are to bump my FTP to 325 and to weigh 170lbs consistently, I usually hover 172-175 during the summer months.
Also want to ride more places, namely more mountainous areas like the Catskills in NY, some of the stuff around Pagoda PA, and a few other nearby states.
No events or even group rides. I’m just trying to keep fit while mostly restricted to the trainer. I’m hoping things will turn around.
I’m going to just focus on the training process without defined goals - get through base and build and see how far I can get. I’ll be my own science experiment of one.
4.5w/kg (375W @ 183#). Currently 329 @ 238#. I know I can get the weight off (as I’m down from 307) but I really have no idea where the upper limits of my power are. Will approach it with curiosity.
Gran Fondo Hincapie @ +/-4:45. It’s +/-80 miles and 8k feet, I did a shortened version (60m and 6k feet) in 4:41 this past October.
