Cycling goals for this year: Stay healthy enough to keep riding. 2008-10 included five eye surgeries, passing a stone, a badly sprained ankle and a massive UTI all of which knocked my off of the bike long enough to lose a bunch of fitness. Ride at least one full century (that would be my first since ~1993), maybe a 200k if all goes well. Get a bike dialed in for mixed-terrain riding, and get off of the pavement some. Get my 1984 Miyata 1000 back on the road as my regular commuter, replacing the Kogswell I commuted on last year. Build a new set of 650b wheels (Dyad rims and Phil hubs are in house, waiting on spokes) and either find a 650b setup I'm fully happy with or bail out of that size and go back to 622 and 559 only.
