Don't have much in the way of goals for this year. At least bike related ones. 1. Do an S24O. Time slipped away last year. Hopefully this year. 2. See if I can go a full year without buying and/or selling a bike. Hoped to do that last year, but didn't work out. At all. Try again. 3. Wag more, b

I'm not usually one for new year's resolutions, but since I was fairly successful at my one resolution in 2011 (non-bike-related, it was simply to eat oatmeal for breakfast more consistently), i thought i'd try a couple of modest ones this year. -One is to keep track of my riding a bit more.
