vuelta challenge

i think what might be fun would be to pick what percentage of the tour you will ride. i did 20% of the tdf distance, and will do the same for the vuelta. but it's up to you guys also. tbh i don't think they'll be huge amounts of us signing up so maybe just one team of euskatel/euskadi riders. orange always looks fab tbh

I'll sign up!  It will be my last chance to get some consistent cycling done outside before it starts raining gatos y perros.

I could be game.  I was planning my long ride of the month for the 20th (day after it ends - bummer).

Might as well go for 21 stages again and 1260 minutes.  I always liked the Basque team in Orange.

just doing spreadsheet guys. just the four of us, which imho makes it special!

spreadsheet now up, but need you guys to add your goals. btw can we make itr that youdo a % of the race distance (3400km). this is just to make it fun. hope that is ok for you peto, as you hoped to do minutes.

also: shall we have esukadi related avatars to show how fabulous we are?

I'm in for 5% of the distance.  (Yeah, piddly, I know.)  That equates to 105.6 miles.  I've done one stage!  Let us know how to get to the spreadsheet when it's ready.

spreadsheet for the challenge. i'm at 5% also, so no worries owl girl!
