I do realize that no one really cares about my Strava goals, but honestly, I'm not sure there are many people who read this blog.
So, these posts are more for me to remind myself how things went during the year.
And ... well ... I blew away my #11EverestsIn2024 goal and my #7100MilesIn2024 goals.
I actually cycled just under 650 miles in December, which is a bunch for a winter month, putting my 2024 total at 8,062 miles.
I gained 31,464 feet in elevation for the month, putting me at 409,081 feet of elevation gained for the year.
I've also extended my #MetricCenturyEveryMonth streak to 41 straight months with at least one 100 km (62.2 miles) ride.
Not bad for a decrepit old couch potato.

My 2025 Strava goals will likely be very close to my 2024 totals. Probably 8,200 miles and 415,000 feet of elevation.
Based on this year, it is doable, but it does mean I need to stay healthy and that my bikes don't have any major mechanical issues. I also will need to commit quite a bit of hours to hit these goals, and weather will have to cooperate at least a little bit.
Stay tuned on this blog, and I'll likely share how I do.
