Hmmm... I had to dig up my 2011 goals, and to my surprise I actually hit a few:
- Hosting Riv Rally East, May 6-8 in Wellsboro PA - DONE - Renaissancing his and hers Gazelle Sport Luxe bicycles, converting from single speed coaster to 3 speed drum-brake. Hers DONE, His ALMOST DONE - Renaissancing (with period parts) an early 1983 (Tim Neenan) StumpJumper - DONE (and donated to a good friend in Healdsburg CA) - Resurrecting a dormant, once-renaissanced 1985 Rockhopper - DONE - Converting my 1986 Nishiki Prestige SS to both a 2-speed version and a fully-geared version... Fully geared DONE, 2-speed still working on There were a few other windfall goals: - Rode my Bomba in the NYC 5-Boro Tour - Did an awesome 4-day credit card tour of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard - Built up and sold a few bikes - Built up a killer touring bike (from an old Schwinn Cimarron) - Laced up half a dozen wheels - Built up a truly awesome steel rigid 29er MTB - Renaissanced (and sold) a really cool Argentinian racer/SS/fixie - I finally scored my long-awaited BMW motorcycle (hey, that's bike- related, right???) 2012 Modest Goals - At least 2 S24O rides - Host Riv Rally East 2012 (New England??) - Do a multi-day credit card tour ride on the Great Allegheny Passage Trail in PA (hopefully via Amtrak roll-on/roll-off bike service on the Capitol Limited train) - Sell a few more bikes (reduce the herd) - Finish up Gazelle project and Nishiki 2-speed - Get my son (and daughter) off to college, sell house, move, and establish new bike workshop/man cave!!! (that's a BIGGIE) Happy 2012 to all. On Jan 2, 10:05 am, robert zeidler <zeidler.rob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, let's see.... > 1. Do this weeks 200k and enjoy it. 10-11 hours would be good. > 2.
