  • Do a longer ride than I ever have before in each month of 2014, starting with 225km in Jan and adding 25km each month, culminating with doing the 2014 festive 500 in one ride.

    Nope :(

    But I'm glad I attempted this. It got me to go out into the lanes on the weekends a bit, something that I never really did before 2014. I made it to 425km before my ankle called a halt, a distance that would have terrified me only a couple of years ago.

    I'll be back though: I still want to do a 500k, probably before next December. Maybe sometime around May, when it won't dark for most of the ride.

  • Ride the National 24hr in July or enter an audax. It's personal, obviously, but I would find it easier to ride in an event and clock the 500 rather than set an arbitrary distance to do.
