Bicycling in the Lower Hudson Valley

Compared to 2008 do you plan on riding; more, less, or the same?

January

With a total of 24 votes on how many miles did you ride this year we clearly have some readers who enjoy time in the saddle with the most votes in the 2,500 to 5,000 miles category. So with last year behind us it’s time to share your goals for 2009.  First a simple question, Compared to 2008 do you plan on riding; more, less, or the same?
Use the comments field if you’d like to be more specific with your goals. Maybe you plan on commuting to work more often? This is the year you’ll start to race and need more miles. Maybe you pushed to hard last year and felt burned out and need to cut back. I’ve been there and down that, it’s ok. Just know it’s harder to get back then to keep what you have.
My goal is to increase about 1,000 miles next year to 3,500.

    Less.

    I’m assuming higher mileage for ‘09 as my racing schedule will be heavier than ‘08.

    That is of course barring any wildlife incidents…;-)
