Here comes 2020

My 2020 goal: Return to competitive cycling.

I miss the fitness. I miss the training. Somehow in the years past I got it into my head that I liked pushing my body and mind beyond what I ever thought possible on a regular basis. I like the accomplishments. And I miss the therapy even though I still ride enough to enjoy the rides. Maybe I even miss the constantly sore, solid legs.

I'm a goal-oriented person. I do best when I have something to reach for. So this year: Let's get back to some serious training and become competitive again. Looking at the 2019 numbers I rode about 50% of the past years so I have a lot of creative work to do so I can get my "second job" back in line.

During those years I had decent accomplishments at LOTOJA, High Cascades, Park City Point 2 Point, and the BC Bike Race, and a few more, that I want to return to. This post is a personal reminder.

In the last few years I wanted to find the next physical goal to reach for and decided to go for a 50+ hill climb championship. Now it's written down so it must happen. Here it goes.
