What will you change for XL?

*Trying to liven up the boards a bit*

What will you change/add/subtract from your training routine/regiment for 2012?

The only thing I can think of right now is to change where the needle of the scales comes to rest when I step on the platform.  Yeah, I have said that before and will continue to say that but I have trimmed of four pounds in the last two weeks.   The Little Stoker smiled when I weighed in at the grocery store today.   Salmon and salad on the menu tonight.

I can’t think of anything i would change right now, maybe kick up the speed a little.

I am hoping to get more miles, 2010 and this year i wanted 1500 miles before RAGBRAI, I got 1000 in 2010 and 890 this year. Next year I want to shoot for 1500-2000 before RAGBRAI.

Also, working out more often, I would like to get down more weight. I was 228 in Jan, am down to 201 now, I am hoping to be at 180-185 by next RAGBRAI

I’ll workout more often this year, and keep the pedals pedaling throughout the year!

Can’t wait till RAGBRAI, best week of the year

Also, since I keep seeing posts about it being “dead” in the fourms, maybe I’ll post in here more to for something I’ll do different :)

Train more, lose weight  . . .That sounds like a New Years Resolution! I think I might bring a camera. My royal photographer does a great job but maybe I’ll give her the year off. Also size down another notch on my packing. Make room for a marquerita  machine! LOL!

Amanda, just add another sherpa. Wouldn’t want you to do without.

Amanda, just have one of your sherpas mix the margarita’s.  Remember, you don’t need electric for a sherpa!!!!

Enforcing no children under the age of 12. Having babies out in 100 plus heat index’s is ridiculous.

For me. I will get off my @ss and train throughout the winter months. Loose all the weight I put on since having my stroke.

We had a young lady in our group kept asking why we didn’t have a stripper pole on the bus.  Doubt if it shows up, but we can always dream.

Next week, I’m planning on doing a crash course. 500 miles in 7 days (geez that’s sort of like a ragbrai). except i’ll be in my own bed every night.

i need more hill training, and more practice with riding distance without stopping. while it was great having towns so often, I felt like I relied on them too often for a break.

new gloves and cycling tights in the mail! booya!

Who needs a bus???

It’s the bicycle version of a mullet — all business up front, and party in the back!!
