In January I set goals for my riding in 2008:
- 52 individual rides
- 1,500 miles
- 3 organized rides
It’s May and a good time to check in and see how am I progressing. I’ve been tracking my rides via a GPS bike computer and Motionbased. According to technology, I’ve ridden:
19 days
My target works out to one ride per week and we are 18 days into the year, so I’m ahead.
604 miles
Not quite halfway to my goal and not quite halfway through the year, so on target.
1 century
My first organized ride of the year was a metric century (65 miles). I’ve also signed up for the LIVESTRONG Challenge (please support me!) in July and the Marin Century in August. I’ll be joining the Mount Diablo Challenge in October and I’d like to do one century in June. I am on target to meet this goal.

Dan, way to go! Glad to see you’re doing the Diablo Challenge. I’ll see you there. I did it in ’05 and am shooting to beat that year’s time.
