It's that time of year again, so what (if anything) are you vowing to take up, give up or refrain from to make you and the world better?

I generally don't tend to have many as I'm crap at sticking to them but in 2019, I WILL get my book finished and I will strive to do or say at least one pleasant thing to / for someone every day ... obviously, it'll be lost amongst all the unpleasant ones but it's a start.

Well I'm doing an ultra , a short ultra but an ultra non the less 32 miles with hills , it's booked and paid for so barring injury I can't avoid it

Ride more (on my shiny new bike ), go back to a low carb diet and complete a bivi a month

I have 100% confidence that I'll achieve every single one of my ridiculously unrealistic new years goals!

Floss more
No sugary crap
Low carbs
Less meat
Cook better food
Ride more
Ride further
Ride faster
As above but with running
A lot less beer
A lot less wine
More sleep
Lose weight
More fun with kids
Do more fun stuff with wifey
More camping/bivying
Less working
Photo a day
Kickflip a day

Drink less & ride more!
I can only hope....

Eat better/less.
Ride more
Repeat.

Summittoppler and metalheart nailed mine right there.

Fill the book I'm writing with more content than I am currently filling my belly with.

To not drink many more GnTs and get round the New Years Day hilly 200km / 3000m I mapped out as my incentive to stay fairly sober. High stakes

Always had a good riding year following a big 1st Jan ride. Seems to set the tone for Jan-Mar then it all slots into place.

The extent of my excess this evening is that I went mentals and had a second lemsip only two hours after the last one and now I'm off to bed - rock and roll!!!

Your so funny....... drink less......

Not to be a dick!

I’m sure I won’t last until the sun goes down tomorrow but I’ll give it a go

This time last year I gave up Strava, I've had 12 months of happy cycling without any external pressures.....

I urge others to do the same, it's liberating

2019 Resolutions

Drink less

Not buy any bike stuff unless it’s to replace something that is broken or worn out (this will be hard!)

Turn 50 with a bang

That's very much a personal thing. It depends how you use Strava and how much you let it use you.

to carry on regardless.

because all is pretty good.

Mediate most days, finish writing my book, smile more, worry less!

Happy NYE you lovely people!

Still be here this time next year, anything else is a bonus

Consume less but better
Apart from that, the usual,

To stop wasting time in pubs getting drunk waiting for Wotsits to turn up before a bivi

Did my New Years Day ride so will make the rest up as we go...

For me it’s
Stop being grumpy
Avoid single use plastics as much as possible
Try not to swear at other drivers bad driving
BeMoreHolly by doing my very best and taking my opportunities in life

So far i’m committed to
- Winter Bivi
- County Masters Swim Competition
- HT550 ITT
- Finishing learning to dive (Open Water)
- Shooting with Brother in Law

And more to fit in between e.g. WRT etc
