Rando(m) Thoughts: Goals for 2020

- With 2019 coming to a close, it's time to think about cycling goals for 2020. My goals are more focused on enjoying cycling than meeting a numeric goal or posting a new record for suffering on a ride--check out the video to learn more!

Due to other obligations, as well as the fact the living on a ferry-served Island makes getting to organized rides a pain in the ass, I’ve done none the past two years. Plan to remedy that in 2020, the year I turn 74. Still kicking butt.
I hope to resolve my issue with brain cancer I discovered I had since March and resume riding outside. Until then, I will enjoy your videos as I ride the trainer.
Best wishes to you!
Hi Eric,
Because I like to mirror myself to professional riders (present or past) Riding the (monumental) classics was for me also the main reason to participate in PBP.
A race, short of age, but looks like a classic is the Strade Bianche in Italy. The tourist version is a day after the Pro’s in March.
Because I want to get the Awards Randonneur 5.000 and 10.000. I still need to do the following 4 rides:
- BRM300
- Fleche in Belgium (April)
- BRM1000 in Denmark (June)
- BRM1000 in Belgium (Borders of Belgium) (September)
Also I’m going to do LEJOG this is a BRM1400 in the United Kingdom from Land Ends (the South-West) of England) to John O’Groats (The North-East) of Scotland. (July)
Of course there are some training rides needed to get in a good shape. All the Big Goals are done mostly during daylight with a good night sleep, because cycling should be fun!
Kind Regards,
Xander.
My plan is to do my first brevet!
I'm planning to ride at least 200 km and 400 km brevets. Then I've got a long list of bike-related stuff to be done this year. The best thing ever is to ride my Raleigh bike. Not many months left before the spring 😉 Happy new year and greetings from Finland.
I enjoy your post. You represent an accomplished rider without over the top professional/racing advice.
I just to say thanks for PBP Tips videos. They were great, and very helpful.i used lots of your ideas.
Best of luck in 2020,

ShoUld have proof read. I just want to say............
Happy New Year Eric! Sounds like you have a great year planned! As for me I hope to do a bike packing trip on the Colorado Trail this summer as well as a few road centuries and a handful of MTB events. Other than that just having fun on the bike seems like a worthwhile pursuit. Stay safe out there!
Always good to set those goals earlo. What mic do you use, the recording sounds great. Keep the videos coming in 2020
I record the audio on the bike using the built-in mic on my Rylo 360 camera. The only modification I’ve made is to put a bit of “dead cat” fur on the front-facing microphone (the Rylo has two, facing front and back) to cut down on wind noise. This setup works in 90+ percent of situations, pretty much everything except in high winds.
When I’m recording in my office, I’ll generally have a lavalier microphone on myself.
I plan to do a video about the equipment I use, and I’ll be sure to cover the issue of recording clear audio on the bike.
Fantastic video yes you lucky with weather there for cycling its not that good weather here in Scotland look forward to following your videos in 2020 hope you will give my channel out
