Omega Pharma Quickstep/RadioShack Nissan TDF Team Thread

New team this year.

Just checking in.

Already have 109 miles for yesterday.

Lets kick some a$$ !!!

Hi Guys,

      We look Good !!  I have 15 Miles for the Prologue and 30 Miles for todays Stage.

'Still not completely sure how it all works, but I'm ready to burn some !!

Sweet!!!  We have a strong team!!!!  Let's DO IT!!!!!

I did almost 30 miles yesterday for my first stage.  Today was a running day.  Riding again tomorrow.

Oh!  My name is Tracy for those of you that I don't know.  Cheers!

I was going to takethe day off yesterday after my century on satuday, but I made a committment to the challenge.

So, I just did a short 14 mile ride. It was nice out and I was getting bored sitting at home.

That brings me up to 123 miles so far. Not sure when the spread sheet will be up.

To everyone else, Tracy great 30 miler, Dan a nice 15 miles, hope to see everyone's goals posted and all of you out there riding.

Oh Well, I got my 15 in this morning   Head-wind and uphill BOTH WAYS !!?

bertgwen - 2012-07-03 8:24 AM Last night on the way home I got a flat tire. Put up my right arm in an attempt to hail my team car. No such luck, never showed up and I had to change it myself. I thought maybe with this being the TdF challenge one might of shown up with new wheel or bike if need be. Disappointing.

Had the same thing happen last night on my trainer.  You would have thought that the least my wife could have done was to offer to put a new tube in!

Put my numbers in the spreadsheet.  A bit conservative and should beat the miles estimate.

BTW, any recommendations on shortening the name?  Team OPQRSN or Team RadioShack, Team OPQ?

Dorm and I recruited her help for team BMC- we made her an offer she can't refuse. It's top secret information though. I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you- hehe.

And nope I wasn't sleeping- I was out riding tons and tons of miles. My bike is my new best friend. The pampered princess is in her glory.

Hey team.  I put my goals in the spreadsheet.  They're a bit lower than most of yours but I'm still learning to love the bike.  I'm hoping this challenge will get me on it more often and for longer than 20mins at a time.  Getting ready to do my second stage now!

Hey all!

Another 15 miles this morning before we headed off to go tubing.  Just going to go with 10 mile rides on days my plan doesn't call for a ride and then follow my plan the other days.  Intervals today which kicked my tail then 4 hours on the river to recovery.

Hope everyone had a great July 4th!

Went out for a long ride yesterday. 72 miles around Lake Tahoe.

It felt more like an obstacle course with all the nuts up here for the 4th.

Great job everyone on the miles/minutes put in so far. Keep up the hard work.

Sorry team, I've been out of town. But when I return I'll be still OK for my goals (if I kick it HARD!)
