It's good to have some longer-term goals. When are you going to start training?

At a rough guess, I'd have to lose 290 metres per hour every year for 55 years. I think that's doable.

For the last five years I have decided not to go for rides of more than 100km. There is no point going overboard. I want to keep cycling for some time yet.

Awesome  :D
