Turned 65 so Goal is 6,500 (dirt) miles
I turned 65 in January & decided to try several goals derived from 65. I switched from road to dirt (gravel, two-track, backcountry wandering) last year so I'm not sure how dirt miles compare to paved miles (did 8,000 paved miles back when I was 55 or so) here are the goals:
1. 65 two-track miles in a day. Done.
2. 65x3=195 dirt miles in a week. Done.
3. Ride 65 consecutive days (average at least 25 miles per day). This is harder than I thought! At 24 right now. Lost 20 days when I got lazy for no good reason.
4. Ride 6,500 dirt miles this year. At 1,569 today. A bit behind due to low miles in January. Need 541 mi/month.
5. Take a bikepacking trip of 6.5 days. Still planning this one. Hope to ride a loop including the Sierra Larga, Jornada del Muerto, Palomas Gap & Quebradas for this one. Those are obscure New Mexico localities but beautiful country.
