One exciting goal to set after your big cycling event is to aim for a personal best (PB) on a local hill or loop. Choose a challenging climb or a favourite route and strive to beat your previous time.

By focusing on specific segments, you can track your progress and witness tangible improvements in your performance. Remember, small victories like this can keep your motivation high and give you a sense of accomplishment.

If it's a new cycling adventure you want, consider planning a cycling break abroad for the end of summer. Explore new routes, breathtaking landscapes, and immerse yourself in different cycling cultures.

Whether it's tackling the stunning mountain passes of the French Alps, pedalling along the scenic coastal roads of Italy, or venturing into the captivating countryside of Spain, a cycling holiday can rejuvenate your passion for the sport while giving you the opportunity to discover new destinations.

And best of all you can even join us on a trip to the magnificent Greek island, Rhodes, for No. IV of our challenge series, the Colossus of Rhodes.

Sometimes, the best goal you can set after completing a big cycling event is simply to have fun. Cycling is a source of joy and freedom, so why not explore different aspects of the sport that excite you?

Join group rides, try out different disciplines like mountain biking or gravel riding, or head off on a bike-packing trip.  

Remember, maintaining your love for cycling is just as important as pursuing specific goals. 

Setting new goals after your big cycling event is vital for maintaining your fitness and keeping your cycling journey on track. Here are a few reasons why goal setting is crucial:

1. Sustained motivation: Having a new goal gives you a clear purpose and motivates you to continue training and pushing yourself.

2. Progress measurement: Goals allow you to measure your progress and track improvements in your cycling performance, be it in terms of speed, endurance, or technique. Something we do in all our programmes.

3. Variety and exploration: Setting new goals encourages you to explore different aspects of cycling, try new routes, and engage in cross-training activities to enhance your overall fitness.

4. Long-term commitment: By continuously setting new goals, you ensure that cycling remains a long-term commitment and a sustainable part of your lifestyle. 

Completing a big cycling event is an incredible accomplishment, but it's equally important to set new goals to maintain your fitness and enthusiasm for the sport.

Whether you're aiming to beat a personal record, planning an exciting cycling adventure abroad, taking on an off-bike challenge, or simply having fun on two wheels, goal setting keeps your cycling journey engaging and fulfilling.

So, take a moment to reflect, set your sights on the next challenge, and Let's Go!
