    Practice run... 11 months ago

    No plans to do this yet, but I’m going to Japan next month, and I plan a tour across that country. It’s obviously a lot smaller than the U.S., but also more mountainous. Good practice!

    This is a long-term goal for me. I’m not even sure I’ll do this all in one go. I think I’ll start by buying a new bike and completing Ride the Rockies first, but this is definitely something I’d like to complete within my lifetime :)

    I adopted this goal when I was depressed one day. I am going to put it on the far back burner now. Maybe after I complete a ride to San Francisco, I can consider across the country.



    Got lazy over the winter 19 months ago

    Didn’t hardly break the bike out at all during the last 6 months. Too much time doing spin training in my exercise bootcamp probably didn’t help.

    Cleaned up the bike this week, and got out on it twice. Somehow in the last several months I broke the wire to my cycling computer. Need to get that fixed.

    Starting Monday, I’m back to riding daily if at all possible. Not feeling real ‘hard-core’ yet, so I may let bad weather deter me. I probably should sign up for some cycling event to force myself to rise to the occasion. The “Hotter than Hell 100” comes to mind…

    I lost my bicycle. :-(
    Will have to get a new one, but this goal is at least a couple of years away, so I have time. =)



    joie de vivre is mellow

    QQT - ride across America by 2018 23 months ago

    I was lying in bed this morning, thinking up reasons to live, beyond not terribly upsetting members of my immediate family, and this idea came to mind.

    I’d probably do the ride to San Francisco first.



    A long term goal that I don't have the energy for now. 2 years ago

    I’m saving it for the future when I have more time to devote to actually accomplishing this goal.



    This is a long term goal. 2 years ago

    I’ll need about 3 months to accomplish this at a minimum. Ideally, I would like 4-5 months but that will be extremely difficult to accomplish. I could ride across the U.S. along the southern route in 3 months, but my ideal would be to start in the south and then head diagonally north east until I reach Maine.

    The fun thing about getting back on here after many months is the things that happened with my goals since then. Last summer I bought a nice bicycle, with the money saved from work. I rode it alot. I haven’t gone on any really long rides yet, but I’ve gotten much better. I conquered a very steep 2-mile hill that I’d NEVER been able to get up before:) And I’m very proud of myself for that:D

    Did an 80 mile ride last saturday, probably another one this weekend. Hope to ride home for thanksgiving (>500 miles).
