Mauna Kea. July 4.
Thinking about Levi GF in Oct. In which case I'd probably add a few other rides...Whitney Portal, Shasta plus a few rides in bay area for old times sake. |

No specific events but changing my work load and priorities to get in more bike time-- specifically more 2-4 hour gravel rides. Would like to my miles back to the 4,000 - 5,000 range.
Going to do fewer major (read: travel less) cross races.
Lemme know the St. Louis marathon date and we can meet up for lunch or whatever. |

5,000 miles (close to 4,500 currently so not a stretch.) Considered doing the Haute Route in Asheville since it's right outside my front doorstep but that might be a bad idea.
Beyond that, I'd like to snag a few more local KOM's (I know that sounds pathetic but it's a goal!), Assault on the Carolinas, Asheville Gran Fondo and Hot Doggett.
Goal is to be a really good racer if I still competed, if that makes sense. |

| 6ix, how close are you to Beech Mountain? A bunch of us are likely heading down to Boone again this year and doing the Beech Mountain Metric Century (May 20, I think?) |

| Haute Route has added a lot of events but if I were to do another one it would be Norway, Utah or Pyrenees; that said riding in Mt Mitchell area is somewhere on radar for some opportune time. |

CK, I'm about 2.5 hours from Boone but would definitely consider riding the Beech Mountain metric with you!! Please keep me informed.
What's your target marathon time? |

Mauna Kea first. I've done steep, thin air and gravel but all three combined should be fun. Haha. Why why why?!? |

I’ll definitely keep you in the loop re: Beech.
Target time fro the Marathon is sub-3:30., hopefully around 3:25 so I can make any secondary time cuts for Boston (usually an extra 2-3 minutes off the official BQ time).
The Daniels VDOT chart puts me right around 3:24 based on other races I have done. We’ll see.... |

Goals - get over 5k miles for the year, commute 75% of the time, meet up with the old chain gang in Granada in February!
I may add in some organized centuries as well because we have a bunch of great ones in Maine. |
