My first ever goal

In 2011 I set my self the very first goal, it was simple. just being able to ride a bike. It is not easy to ride when you are 146kg. I had never set a goal before, at least not realistically, and after many failed attempts, I decided to set myself that simple goal, to be able to ride a bike.

Goals alone have not worked for me either. I have been most successful when I set one main goal, then set other smaller goals or set myself tasks that then support the main goal. That's why I decided to cycle to work 1-2 times a week, sometimes I was picked up after work, sometimes shuttled half way in the morning and even took the bus up the last hills on my 12km way home from work. It went well at first but to keep me motivated I decided to go on a bike tour. I booked a flight to Denmark and decided to ride a bike to visit my friend and enjoy every minute.
Now, 10 years later, I really want to repeat that bike tour, so the big goal and task of the year 2021 is to return to Denmark. I have been thinking about this idea for 2 years and if Covid-19 allows, I will fly in the late summer to Denmark and now, cycle longer, more gravel routes and enjoy all that Denmark has to offer. But first and foremost, I am celebrating my 10th anniversary of better health and be grateful to have made this decision 10 years ago and kept it, keeping motivated is actually the hardest part :)

2021 will be a special year for me since it's my 10 years better health anniversary. To celebrate this highlight I want to relive my 2011 bike tour to Denmark and this is just wat I need to keep going. To set my self new goals, new projects and to have something to work towards to. 
If Covid allows I will set of to Denmark and spend the later part of the summer to explore and relive every cycling route Denmark has to offer, camp in the woods and enjoy live. We hope for the best.
