He\u2019s been a licensed coach working with competitive and developmental cyclists since 1990 and has been head coach for the University of Michigan Cycling team since 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have a goal for this year\u2019s event? Do you want to achieve something specific, or do you just want to ride for the fun of it? Both answers are great &#8211; but if it\u2019s the former, it\u2019s important to write that goal down and think about how to achieve them. If the goal is big, break it down and work on the smaller ones throughout the year! It may sound corny but it\u2019s true: you can be successful without goals and a plan, but it\u2019s often accidental and rarely repeatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=840%2C840&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20191102-163-1-1-scaled.jpg?w=1680&amp;ssl=1 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Iceman Cometh &#8211; 30th annual event\n\nPhotography by John L.
