My short term goals for the summer of 1998:

1. Complete a century (a real one, not metric) by the end of the riding season. This will probably be at the Western Pennsylvania Wheelmen's Fall Rally.
2. Bicycle one way between home and work on an occasional basis. This means working out the rhythm of riding one way and driving the other on consecutive days.
3. Get over being a fair-weather cyclist (also required for #2).
4. Complete one or more overnight, self-supported tours.

My long term goal is to complete a trans-America ride. I'm planning to ride in the NBG2000 with Martin Krieg in the summer of 2000.

So, anyway, if I can start riding again and have some significant (maybe unrealistic) goals, so can you. Set some short term goals, get on your bike and ride!
