Let’s see, I think that I nailed my 2009 goal of Not Sucking So Much on a Bike. For 2010 I think my goal is to Be Much Faster. Consistently so. I’m not planning to become a racer, because I’m so slow that me Being Much Faster is still quite a bit slower than the average racing person.

So once again I’m going to focus on being able to get out and ride and have a good time doing it. Goals always keep me focused, so I’ve got to plan a series of fun things that will test my faster-ness as the summer goes on. There’s all sorts of fun things going on this spring and summer, and here’s what I’m currently planning:

And in between all of that I’ll be leading the Tuesday night ladies rides in Waterbury and Stowe, riding in the Wednesday Night Worlds at Catamount, and joining the Thursday night shop rides whenever I can. As well as spending 10 days in Orlando in June for work and 3-4 days in August at Lake Tahoe for work and usually a whirlwind site-inspection trip as well. Oh and trying desperately to find consistent child care for my kiddo through the entire summer.

What’s not on there is SSWC10 - just don’t think that the cost and the timing is in the cards for me this year. If I’m going to go all the way to NZ I want to be able to really do it right. And the race is the weekend prior to my BIGGEST work event of the year, so if I was to go it would have to be a really short trip.

Summer is a totally nutty time for us with something going on almost every night, the bike shop is busy all of the time and work tends to be crazy. So I’m trying my best to enjoy the unscheduled time that is early spring.
