The Road to Paris - 2013 TdF Team Garmin/Omega Pharma

Howdy!  I'm Mike...20 stages, about 21 hours and 375ish miles.  Riding every day they do except tomorrow's TTT

Why don't you just go get some french fries and give up now.  You guys are goin DOWN!

Hiya, team awesome!  I'm Melanie, and I think I committed to a conservative 8 stages 12 hours.  My life/schedule gets a bit whacky at times, so I didn't want to set a goal I would struggle and stress to make.  If things go well, I may up the goals.

Are we supposed to log our stuff somewhere?  I know in our training log but someone mentioned a spreadsheet?

French Fries - great idea. I know place to get some - let's see, it is right off the bike path about 25 miles away - I could get some good time, miles and stages just getting some fries!!!

I believe a spreadsheet should be up today. If not, I will plagerize one from last year for us to log on.



Ride Lots!!

Hi team! I'm Ben. My goal is 10 stages, 300 miles. Was travelling this weekend, so I haven't started yet, but I'll make up some ground this week! Go team go!!

I'm in for 10 stages, six hours, but that could change if the fry-lover from Team OB-NOX doesn't cool it!

I took last years Garmin Spreadsheet (should have taken 2011 when Garmin Won It , but we shall reclaim our team title this year)

I updated with the names and goals posted here.

It is in the BT Challenge

You can sign in with that the first time and then share it with your own e-mai

I re-titled column G

so

The spreadsheet if found from last years tour was simplified. It is just a total of your tour -nothing broken down by stages or weeks. You could do that yourself within the "Goal Completed" cell

The number of stages you are targeting complete goes in Column C "Goal: Number of Workouts/Stages"
The number of stages you have actually completed goes in Column D "Stages To Date"

Column E is your "Goal: Distance/Time"
Column F "Type (minutes, miles etc)" is how you are measuring your goal i.e 300 miles, or 21 hours or 1260 minutes

Column G "Goal Completed (Miles/hours)" is where you enter your miles or time ridden

Column H "Tour Percentage Complete" is a calculated column showing how much of either "The Tour" or "Your Tour" has been completed. It combines your percentage of stages with your percentage of miles/hours and averages them together. It does not allow you to go over 100 % complete, but it will allow you to ride more miles and less stages (or vice versa) and still achieve the higher percentage.

Now that I have totally provided too much information to a simple question..... if you do have any more questions let me know.

Now go out and ride

Hey guys,

I'm Graham - a very wet and windy 2.5hrs completed here in Ireland this morning! And 45mins yesterday. Will log them to the spreadsheet later today!

A long one planned for tomorrow - lets hope the weather gets a bit better!!

Chat soon

Graham

it won't let me sign into the doc - keeps saying I'm in an unusual location! I know I'm in Ireland but come on....thats just mean!!

I know there were problems with the account last month due to people signing in/posting from all over the world. I thought they were corrected though.

If you would like, PM me you e-mail and let's see if I can share the document with you.

Hello everyone! I'm late to the party this year but that wasn't going to stop me from doing my favorite challenge on BT! I'm in taper for IMLP and I'll be shooting for 10 stages and 250 miles. I'll definitely keep up my logs, but getting on the boards might be tough as its going to be a busy month. I'll check in whenever possible though, go Team Garmin!

First stage complete!  In honor of the team time trial, I rode the local TT course with my team of one.  19.16 miles, 1 hr 8 minutes.
