Due to the medical issues I have had in 2019 ( and continue to battle) which forced me to miss 53 days of riding (vs the 12 snow/ice related days missed and the 3 rain related days missed) and causing me to miss meeting my yearly goal of 300 days riding per year in 2019, I have decided for the first time in many, many years not to set any goals, either for days ridden or mileage for 2020. Further I am not going to plan any trips or rallies at this time.
If I feel good enough to ride on any given day, I will ride. Distance doesnt matter. I will ride for as long as I feel like riding. If I feel good enough to head out on a trip, I will. If I am able to make the east coast rally, I will be there ( haven't missed one yet). Same goes for my annual Men's Fall Trip I take with family members. If I feel up to it, I'm going. It's all going to be very last minute decisions.
I've had a goal for many years to ride until I am 70. That will be in 157 days from now, so I do hope to meet that one, but whether I ride 300 days or 150 days, or whether I ride 20,000 miles or 10,000 miles in 2020, I'm just not going to worry about it. I plan on trying to get/be as healthy as I can, and let the days, the miles, and the trips take care of themselves.
That's sounds like a great plan! Hope you stay healthy so maybe we can ride to ND & SD with MTC next summer!
I've already ridden more miles after age 60 than I did my entire life before.
Before 6000mi on the CB350, 12,000mi in the CB750 and 2000mi (very quick) miles on the GPZ750 ;-)
After 7,000mi on the CB1100 and 21,000mi on the K1600.
My only big goal is to ride the coastal hwy from CA to WA. Didn't really want to take the time, mileage or deal with tire replacement to do it from IN.
Might just fly to Las Vegas and rent one! Maybe take the mountain route up and coast down (I've been told ride it from north to south so your lane is on the water? Any suggestions here are welcome.
