Not riding much

I have not been riding much but I have been running and working with weights. I am back on my diet. Down to 222 lbs.

First Ride of the New Year

On Friday I joined some members of CCR for a "Resolution Ride".  It started at 7:00 am. Temp 11º and windchill was below 0º with some light snow.  The destination was Cracker Barrel in Springfield.  Round trip we road 25 miles.  I could not think of a better way to start the new year.

The new year!

Today I am at 227 lbs. I have set goals for 2010 and will be busy trying to succeed.

The last couple of months has been a struggle but am committed to get into better shape.

GOALS FOR 2010

First I want to wish everyone at CCR a happy new year. I also want to thank Tracy for convincing me to get on my bike and use for what it was meant for. Thank you CCR for giving me the support to be a better cyclist and for teaching me so much about biking.

Here are my goals:

Miles - 4,200 miles indoor and out (350 a month)

Rides - Complete TOSRV both ways
- After TOSRV I want to do one century ride a month. (start one at midnight)
- Complete a duatholon (5k - 20 mile - 5k type of distance)
- Improve my hill climbing
- Do a Saturday ride on a kickbike

Weight - Get to and maintain 190-200 pounds.
- Reduce body fat (my gut)

- make weight training a big part of my workouts
- do 50 full sit-ups in a minute
- do 5 chin ups (can not pull my fat butt up for one)

- Maintain a healthy diet

Finally, keep Tracy in sight for a whole ride.

These are my goals for 2010.
