On Winter

I know, I have written anything in a while. There are a lot of reasons, some, annoyingly, of a legal nature. I will say this, I must ensure not to write about some things, again, ever! Silly. Anyway I am contemplating goals for 2011, watch this space for those in the weeks to come. For now, I have the following:

1. Get to Rochester, do not bonk, actually get to Jeff Brand's front door. Do it in under 10 hours (not counting stops for border crossings and washroom). Do it with two washroom and one food break in Ontario and two water, one washroom break in New York.
2. Ride to Lake Simcoe a bunch of times, average over 32km/h with a sustained pulling speed of at least 35km/h (that is to say, when out in the country and there's a nice long pull from yours truly I have to maintain a speed of at least 35km/h).
3. Ride out to The Forks of the Credit, enjoy the prettiest road in Ontario a few times, do not dehydrate or bonk on the way home. Make Ian Wilcox blow up from riding fast for too long.
4. Actually make Ian Wilcox blow up period, if I can be intact when Ian runs out of gas that's has to count for something.
5. Clobber Thi Ng on a 10% or greater climb.
