In 2021 I cycled 2893km on my shitty little folding bike, so I set a 2022 goal of 3000km, which I had smashed through by September after I got a new bike in June, and I'm closing the year on 4252km.
So what's a sensible target for 2023?
So where have we got to at the end of the first month? 43km off the pace is OK, tbh. The raw maths says I need to do ~96km per week for the rest of 2023, but I'll do plenty of 100km+ weeks once it gets warmer and lighter
#Strava progress, end of February: that I'm only 35km off the pace is astonishing to me, given that I lost an entire week to a work event and then being ill. The month did also include my first-ever 70km ride, however
#Strava progress, end of Q1: that I'm 84km behind is reasonable, considering how many days I've lost to foul weather and being ill. However BST is now here, and after-work #cycling has commenced, so I expect to pick up the pace substantially in April
The pace has picked up massively in April, with two 90km epics and plenty of after-work #cycling. I guess we'll stay well ahead over the summer
