Twenty twenty six
> Resolute to try my best, resigned to reality
Inspired by my wife, I’m going to set some quantifiable goals for the next year. Ultimately they will stem from some broader and less-defined goals based out of my Dilettante’s Garden, but what’s more fun than checking off some boxes?
Resolutions

- Miles ridden: Checking Strava…
