2020 was going to be the year I attempted an SR on an upright bike, as I've been 'bent for nearly 20 years. Then I went and broke my neck.

Now I'm looking at recovering atrophied neck muscles and restoring range of motion, on top of getting my cardio and legs back after 3 months of restricted activity. Transitioning to an upright at this point seems a bit much. I'll defer that until next year.

So I'm thinking a late SR series on the 'bent is a decent goal for the year. I'd love to do the Crater Lake 1200, which is late enough in the season to be a possibility. Finishing a 1200 this year would get me a guaranteed spot for LEL 2021, if I understand their rules correctly.

We shall see. PT starts next week, and I'm allowed to ride as soon as I can turn my head enough to be safe.
