328: Midyear Bike Touring Goals Check-In

In January I set up some fitness and bike touring goals. Six months later, have I completed any of them or am I really behind?

Midyear Bike Touring Goals Check-In

Health/Fitness

 

• Drop the weight

HELL YES... not quite at full goal, but mostly there.

 

• Weigh in at least every other day all year (unless traveling) and set a back on the wagon number

YES! Near daily even.

Back on the wagon weight also set. I'm getting below that number now

 

• Fitness center plan

None, zero. I've only been cycling, but can revisit this on the back half of 2023

 

• Dry  January Feb

YES - plus I've dramatically reduced drinking overall, if only for the calories.

The wonders of NA beer... is it as good? No. But is it a nice alternative? Yes.

 

Touring

 

• 5 multi day tours in 2023

3 and counting, 4th is imminent, 5th I have an idea. Possiblity of more than that? Maybe.

 

• At least one 7+ day tour

Preview episode coming soon!

 

• At least one fully new-to-me trail or route

NOT YET, looking at the 5th tour for this

 

• Cross a new state by bike

NOT YET, and may have to figure out an easy one ;)

 

Whacky things

 

• A  heavily transit aided tour

Preview episode for the summer tour, coming soon ;)

 

• A microcamper aided tour

NOT YET... might be a fall one? Or the state crosser?
