What is your 100-mile goal this year?
I have recently decided that I want to do a 100-mile ride. A few key takeaways from that are worth sharing.
- I shared this out loud - this made it more than an idea.
- One of the people who I shared this with, offered to do the ride with me.
- I have had challenges.
Do you relate with any of these takeaways?
While it can be misconstrued as bragging, my objective in saying it outload is it causes more accountability to the goal. Folks will ask "how is your training going" or "when is that ride". I'll be way more likely to do the training. I'm not doing it for other folks but I said I was going to do it and barring any legitimate reason not to, I will. I would hate to have lied to all those people.
Next, I would look like a fool letting my friend train and come September, when we're doing the ride, tell him "well, I forgot I said that and so I didn't train - let's try out best". Oh boy, what a disaster that would be. Instead, he and I occasionally text each other milestones of our training. "I rode 12 miles today" or "it shaved 5 minutes off my normal ride".
I did not train the way I wanted to. Weather, broken bike, sick, weather again, busy, etc. You know the feeling. You know what though, I am still finding ways to get back on the bike and keep training.
So, what is your "century" that you're pressing for in 2026? Who is in your corner? Who is both challenging and encouraging you?
Find that person - connect - build! Let's ride!
