Remember those cycling goals for 2025? Well, for reasons I won't go into here, they've taken a bit of a back seat this quarter, as I was barely able to get out on the bike at all during July and August. So although I've had a decent September (my third most miles in a month since I did LEJOG in 2021), it looks like being too little, too late.
To recap, my goals for the year are:
- Complete 1,800 miles distance
- Complete 55,000 feet of elevation
- Record an annual Eddington of 17 miles (requiring 17 days of 17+ miles)
- Increase lifetime Eddington from 43 miles to 46 (requiring six days of 46+ miles)
Here's an sit-rep after the third quarter:
Still behind on all counts... and unlikely to catch up, especially on the Eddington-related targets, as I don't have any sportives planned for the rest of the year. On the plus side, I have managed to increase my lifetime Eddington from 43 to 44. Whoop-de-doo, tarantula town.
