I've missed my cycling goals two years in a row. Should I tone back my expectations or is that under-aiming?
Only 5 years later. I decided to have the same goal & New Years resolution for 2020. Complete 10,000km of cycling and tonight I completed it a month early!
Highlights
Despite the Pandemic kicking off I made good use of our 12 week real lockdown in Barcelona. I trained my butt off. I tried to maintain a schedule of 1 hour intervals in the morning and 2 hours of free-ride at night. All of this on the indoor trainer of course. During lockdown I covered 2569km’s of distance over 95 hours.
Completed the Alps Route from Lake Geneva, Switzerland to Nice, France. Totals for the week:
-
6 days riding.
-
1 unplanned rest day due to rain.
-
659km
-
16,382m climbing.
-
First time in the Alps.
-
First time watching a Tour de France Flag of France stage live.
