What are your weekly goals with your gravel bike?

Notices
Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

What are your weekly goals with your gravel bike?

I try and ride 200km a week with climbs from 400-1000+meters each ride. I hope later in the winter months i can keep this up.

My weekly goal with my gravel bike?
- ride it at least a couple times a week.

Thats it. I set low goals and a couple times this season I have still managed to not meet it!

To crush your enemies!
See them driven before you!
And hear the lamentations of their women!

My goal is to get out as much as I can and just enjoy the ride. I got rid of the bike computer several years ago and I could not be any happier. I have a loop I do frequently and just monitor time to complete every so often and that is about it to see if my time is about same, longer or faster.

Since the only reason I have gravel bikes is because of their large tire clearance I don't really have goals associated with them. I just use them like I would any old bike.

That said, riding them as much as humanly possible is a good way for me to justify me spending as much money as I did on them x)

I own five bikes. If I start assigning individual goals to them, things will quickly become very complicated.
