Progress to date

Back in September (The year ahead and ... one more goal) I set myself some goals for the 12 months ahead.  The half way mark has just passed so I thought I would be appropriate to check progress to date.  The good news is that I am largely on track.

Goal	Progress
Complete one of the big three sportives - Maratona dles Dolomites, La Marmotte, E'Tape du Tour	On track: Entry to Maratona dles Dolomites has been accepted and training is going well.  That said, the prospect of 4500 vertical metres is daunting. Related Posts : Maratona here I come
Complete a UCI Golden Bike sportive	Done: Completed the Ronde van Vlaanderen earlier this month.  Having riden the Gruyère Cycling Tour last year, I have participated in two of the seven events. Related Posts : Flanders and 2009 Ronde van Vlaanderen
Climb three "legend" Tour de France mountains - one must be Col du Tourmalet	On track: week holiday to Pyrenees in July is booked.  I am now considering which other climbs I would like to do
Complete Lac Leman in under 5 hours	No progress: entry is confirmed
Attain a Silver standard time	No progress: None of the events I have done this year have had time standards, however I would like to think my effort at the SWRC Early Spring Cyclosportive in early March would have met any such criteria.

Cycle 5000km in the next 12 months	On track: After 30 weeks I have ridden 2900km.
Complete the Richmond Park 3-lap Challenge under 60 minutes	No progress: Best effort remains approximately 65 minutes and I am not sure how I am going to find 5 minutes (approx 8%). Related Posts : Laps of Richmond Park
