Goals

I've started a chart at home, of the events I want to participate in, in the coming year.  The biggest problem is the fact that the MS150 bike race conflicts with the Pike's Peak Hill Climb. I've wanted to attend the Hill Climb for years and years, and have never been. Chris and Joey vowed that they're doing it next year - which means I'm on my own for the bike ride. I'm hoping I can register soon, so that I can start building a team. Plus, if I register soon, I can get an (I think) free room through the college.  Hopefully I won't have a problem building a team for the event. I'll miss my family, but they will be having their own blast in Colorado Springs.

Wings for Life was great this year, and I'm hoping to do it again next year - but Denver's not on the site.  I hope that's just "yet" - not that it won't be held at all.

Also on the goal menu for next year are 14ers.  I need to get with Donna and anyone else who might be interested, and plan ahead for them.  I think Long's Peak is something like a 12 hour hike. It's going to take some planning and training.

Now, just to get through the winter again...hopefully with biking a bit, too!

I really need to bike more. Have to get a bike rack, which means I need to get a bumper with a receiver in it (as opposed to a hang-down aftermarket U-Haul receiver or something that I'll scrape on rocks).
