Riding to Paris...

I don't think this would be a very interesting goal after thinking about it. I am not motivated by numbers. Lots of folks ride 99 miles and just have to do another mile so they can say they have ridden a century but not me. A better goal might be to see if I can get in a ride every day rather than keeping up with how far I am riding. I don't really see myself getting worked up over time trials either. I just don't care how long it takes. If I am to improve my strength and endurance, I simply must put in more quality riding. I'll have to balance that against my day to day life, obligations, work, kids, grand-kids, home....everything. I also have to avoid overdoing it and breaking my strength down rather than building myself up. I think I am doing enough right now but could improve the quality of the time. That might actually be a better goal. But when riding tandem, I have to stay within Bev's limits.
