Goals 2010
Finally, after much thought, I can list out some goals for the next cycling season. And probably things will change again but I can start with this...
LVG
Not so much here. But I will try when I can.
1. Ronde von Vlandeeren - Belgium 3/4
The 150km will be tough and with the stones I consider this more cross than LVG. Forget Vättern, finishing this will be a nice start. Even if I will be way off the pace.
2. Tour of Sweden - Falun
I signed up because it was 95kr. Not sure if I want to ride 5 days in a row but the timing is perfect for långlopp season.
MTB XC
This will mostly be for teknikträning.
1. MTB SM Rättvik
It would be nice to finish this year. I will see how the first races go in Västgötacupen before I decide.
MTB Långlopp
This is really my focus.
1. Långa Billingeracet
This was a shock last year...I need to try again. Goal #1 is to beat Sven. =)
2. Mörksuggan and/or Lida Loop
Since MTB SM is there I should do this...faster than I did in 2007. I have done Lida twice and was slower the second time. Bad trend.
3. Norwegian triple: Grenserittet, Raumerrittet, Birkebeinerittet
The goal here is to meet their 'Merkekrav' which is the winning time + 50%. In Grenserittet I missed this by 30 min so this will be my biggest goal, by far.
CX
Finally, here come the big goals.
1. Build the super bike, with Ridley frame.
2. Start training cross in August so I am ready for CX-Cupen and the 40 min race time.
3. To score at least 1 point in Veteran class. That means finishing in the top 12 in a race, according to the current rules (this will be tough).
4. To find some gubb-races (Masters class) and race cross in Belgium at least twice. If they still have the Masters World Cup next year, that would be perfect.
So what do you think? Am I completely unrealistic? If I invest the time, something will come out of it. I can feel it.
LVG
