Los 10 mejores propósitos de Año Nuevo para ciclistas

It’s that time of year that us cyclists make a new year’s resolution that next year is the year we make it to professional cycling, get the KOM on the local hill or beat the fastest guy in the club.

Here are our top ten New Year’s Cycling Resolutions for Cyclists. Take your pick for 2025!

1. Ride more next year
   One of my personal favourites is to simply ride more next year. Whether on the road or on mud, the aim is to rack up more miles on Strava so that total miles ridden at the end of the year is higher than this year.
2. Start a new cycling discipline
   You may be a roady wanting to dabble in gravel or a MTBer finally taking the plunge to try road cycling. This New Year’s Resolution is about committing to try a new discipline of cycling.
3. Get back into racing your bike.
   We quitted because we got old, overweight or kids got in the way. Whatever your excuse, this New Year’s Resolution is yours if you’re not ready to hang up the race onesy yet.
4. Explore a new place on your bike
   There’s no better way to stay motivated on the bike than exploring a new country on your bike. Check out our Eat Sleep Cycle tours for some inspiration.
5. Join your local cycling club
   Cycling can be a lonely hobby but cycling clubs are never far away. The group rides and camaraderie could be just what you need to keep you riding.
6. Do your longest ride ever
   The amount of challenge this represents depends how far you’ve cycled in the past! Whatever the distance and challenge there’s nothing like the satisfaction of reaching a new milestone on the bike
7. Lose weight through cycling
   Cycling is one of the best sports to lose weight and riding in the fat burn zone is fairly low intensity. Plus, as the kms rise you can enjoy your favourite treats without seeing the impact on your waistline.
8. Get your partner riding in 2025
   I know I’m the luckiest man alive because my partner loves bike riding too and we can share that experience together. If you’re one of the many unlucky ones maybe it’s time to get your partner on a bike and trying it out. Be super patient and remember that we all started somewhere!
9. Improve your best time on your local hill
   This might not sound like much but if you’re still living in the same area as your super fit racing self of years part, this can be a serious challenge. Just like achieving a new longest ride distance, new fastest time can feel oh so good. If your time 10 years ago is just too far out of reach, set a baseline time in January and work to get it that little bit faster every month.
10. Enjoy cycling more
    If your the type to always look at your stats from a ride (AVG. Speed, power, etc) perhaps it’s time to put the GPS away and just ride your bike. It’s easy to lose the love of it when it’s all about the numbers.

This year’s wildcard (and work with us here!), is start running. Granted, my pure roadie old me cringes at this suggestion but it seems like even some of the worlds top professionals are enjoying the odd run, why is that?

If you’re feeling inspired to ride be sure to check out our upcoming events at our Cycling Hubs or have a browse of our Cycling Tours.
