A look back on my 2022 goals
At
least one new-to-me route
Check - not fully new, but hit new sections of SoCal and
NYS
Fitness: lose the 2021 weight and keep it
off
Nope. Full fail.
Revisit a route (or portion of one) I’ve only done
once
Check!
Think about a remote work-tour option
(work-ride-work-ride… something else?)
Partial credit. I did think about this, but touring options
were limited this year.
Continue to improve my stealth camping
skills
Partial credit. I put a lot of thought and improved my gear,
but didn't pull off the stealth camping I wanted to this
year.
Repair or replace worn gear
Check! Replaced a number of worn and not repairable things
like sleeping pad, duffel bag and more.
Organize bike touring equipment and improve
storage
Check! Reorg of my cabin storage this week at the cabin and
that will flow into the stuff I keep in DC.
