Goals

I know some of my goals should be rather obvious, get in better shape, lose weight, etc. I have some other goals though that may not be readily apparent. My short term goals are pretty simple I admit and meant to be accomplished in order.

1. Make it to work without having to stop for a breather. (3 miles)
2. Make it to Sandy from Gresham. (7 miles)
3. Make it to Sandy from Gresham and then turn around and ride back. (14 miles)

You know I haven't really set a goal past that third one yet in my short term goals list.

And a few long term goals.

1. Complete the shortest length of the Reach the Beach bicycle ride in May 2010 (26 miles, the first 15 are mostly uphill, the last 11 downhill or flat)
2. Lose 200 pounds (or whatever my BMI indicates I should lose)
3. If I can accomplish #2, buy myself a Renovo bicycle as a reward.



Have you ever seen a bike that pretty? They are made from wood, you can select which hardwoods you want as the main body and accent pieces for a completely unique frame. I can't stop looking at the pics of these. Seriously, I think I am drooling here.
