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.
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.
Nope :(
