For 2024 I am giving myself a cycling challenge - seeing how close I can get to qualifying for the 2024 Gran Fondo National Championships.

In 2023 I didn’t do much on the bike - thanks to well, life, work, and any other excuse I could come up with.  Next year I need to re-energize my approach to being on the bike and to give my training a specific goal - instead of training just because.

I have never cycled competitively so this will be a big shift for me, but I’m looking forward to the journey.
