New Year's...Goals

I'm not a big fan of New Year's resolutions. I prefer the idea of continuous reflection and self-improvement. But, with Transrockies only eight months away, the new year marks the time when I need to start focusing my attention to preparing for the race. I've got a lot of work ahead of me, so I thought it would be helpful to start a "to do" list to help focus my efforts. These don't exactly qualify as "resolutions", but here are my New Year's goals.

- Turn a stranger into my new best friend
- Learn how to train and ride with company

Mental
- Build confidence cycling off road
- Learn to enjoy riding in adverse conditions

Physical
- Improve power to weight ratio
- Continue to build fitness and endurance

Equipment
