Whats your cycling goal?

What do you want to do on your bike before you die, win a big race? ride cross country? or beat that roodie scum on his carbon bike you see every morning?

I want to ride across the usa LA, to Portland OR, to Portland Mane, To NYC

I visit OR very other year as my inlaws live in in the state capital Salem, but have never had a bike out there. It is a fantastic state for the big outdoors, green and very pretty. Next time (summer 09) I will take some wheels there or buy some while I'm out there.
