Don't buy or sell any more bikes (unless that perfect mint-condition Mercian comes along). Maintain better overall fitness throughout the year. Read more; watch TV less. Get handier with basic maintenance of my own bikes. Ride at least one century. Do TOMRV (Tour of the Mississippi River Valley). Do 3-4 days of Ragbrai with my Twin Cities friends. Organize another four-day tour of the George Mickelson Trail in South Dakota (Black Hills area) Ride with my wife more often. Ride to work at least twice a week for at least seven months of the year. Don't worry; be happy.
