Agritubel Team Thread

Hey guys, I'm fairly new here but I will give this whole thing a shot. Just did my first metric century this morning (the 4th) woohoo. (too bad it wasn't on the 5th haha) My goals, i think, are 325 miles in 10 stages, which will be pushing it especially if i decide to race a tri on the 12th along with the one i am signed up for on the 26th. Anyway, i am going out of town till sunday but will catch up then. Happy riding!

Hi Team,

Just a reminder that when talking about events in the actual Tour De France there is a 24 hour ban on posting about recent action from the French roads in either your own team thread or other teams. This is because a lot of people have to work while the live coverage is on which means they do not get the chance to catch up on what is happening in the roads of France until later in the day.

If you do want to chat about the event in France there is a Tour De France forum located here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=122#s for the duration of the event.

Otherwise Im usually hanging out in beginner chat whenever I have live stage coverage as well... and always happy to chat Tour with ANYONE and EVERYONE!

Hey team, I'm Kristin and live in NYC. I am really looking forward to this challenge, I needed the motivation to get more biking in this month. I'm doing 10 stages, 300 miles. I have an oly in two weeks and a half marathon the week after, but this challenge guarantees I won't let the cycling slide. I'll be headed out tomorrow for a 50-miler to kick it off!

Good luck to everyone, let's show everyone what we're capable of! 

We I finished my first stage today with a 45 mile ride, only 255 to go!!!!

 How did everyone else do?

Hi team,

 Sorry for the late joining, but I've only just recently gotten back in to riding and training.  I ride a Cannondale Mountain Bike for general commuting and a Felt S32 for training and races.  I'm a Physician Assistant student in Portland and have been in the classroom for the last year so I am way out of shape.  That said, I have a 5 week semi-break during the Tour (woohoo!) so I'm going to ride like crazy until my clinical rotations start.  My goal is 15 stages for a total of 450 miles.

Nice work! I just finished stage one, a 66-miler. I have 9 stages and 234 miles to go!

Good job, keep up the great work

I'm new to the challenge section of BT! I live in Texas and ride a Cervelo (my new tri baby) and Colnago road bike.  I'm in for 9 stages of 270 miles. 2 stages with a total of 80 miles down and 7 stages to go.  I had to cut my ride short yesterday so I'm off 20 miles. Looking forward to getting to know everyone on our WINNING TEAM!!!!

Great Job!  That is a good start for our team. 

Hey guys.  I signed up for 8 stages for a total of 754 minutes.  Yesterday I kicked off the TdF with 180 minute ride (my first half century.  I think we have a pretty darned good team here.  Let's get that yellow jersey!

I'll try and post a picture of me and my bike before my next ride.  That might be a fun way to get to know each other even better.  I'm jealous of all the bikes you guys are riding! 

I hear ya Breezy.  I also have a motorcycle.  I love 2 wheeling!

Finished Stage 2 today with a mountain Bike ride.  I am calling in on eof my mountain stages.  There is lotso fo climbing in this ride.  Any way another 12.7 miles knocked off.  Only 242.3 left to go.  

Let's get those miles and minutes going and have a strong showing at the end of week #1. 

Someone had a good idea, so i here is a pic of my on my bike. I just got it in april and started riding it in May. never had a bike before and i love riding so far. It was a ridiculous deal on ebay and works great for me. I am hoping to start getting some stages in the next few days. Been out of town until today and hopefully if the weather holds will get a short 30-35 miles ride in later.
