Cycling in Tasmania and, sometimes, beyond


In 2024 I set a target to cycle my age each week. That was 77 kilometres per week until May when the target increased to 78 ks. For various reasons I did not manage this!!

By January 2025 I had not set cycling targets for the new year. There were a few things going on unrelated to cycling that took my time. These include a few health issues plus a desire to focus on some non-cycling camping trips.

In 2026 I plan to set monthly goals once again to create some impetus to get out and ride. There will be few if any camping trips but (hopefully) more day rides in different areas.

This Blog is about how all this is going. I will try not to make it a blog on how to continue riding as the body deteriorates with age but there will be some of that too !!
