Francaise Des Jeux

Hi everyone!  Just thought I'd pop in on our new thread and say hi since I'm up nursing a baby on this fabulous 4th of July morning!  Good luck!  And have a great holiday!  Be safe!  Cheers!

I forgot to introduce myself.  Oops!  My name is Tracy.  I have an 11 week old baby so getting my workouts done is quite a challenge.  I sure missed these challenges while I was pregnant!  I couldn't miss this one, though!  Most of my bike time will be on my trainer while baby is asleep in his bouncy chair or in Spinning class, which I teach.  Cheers!

Have fun getting your first stage done!  My boy is going to be 11 weeks old on Monday.  I won't be getting a stage done today.  I'm racing a 5K this morning.  Should be interesting.  I am a pathetically slow runner now.

bonjour my fellow gamers. my name is jackie, i live in manchester, support liverpool f.c. i have a sister who lives in france hence i asked for francaise des jeux. my goal is to ride 55km extra on top of my normal commutes. this is the distance the riders will do in the two individual time trials. sitting here with my le tour t-shirt on which my sister bought me last year

btw i don't mind being team leader, despite what i said in the previoyus thread!

ALLEZ LES TREFLES BLEUS!

Hi everyone!  I'm glad this is finally here, and I'm ready to go.  Well...  I just raced this morning so I guess I'll really be ready to go tomorrow.  But I'm Cheri, and I think this will be a fun challenge.

Bonjour & Aloha!

Just getting up here! I do have my first stage planned as well today, got my inlaws visiting; my hubby turned 50 and my twins just turned 5 as well, but have managed to get all my training in so far.   

Owl girl great job getting back on the training!

Happy 4th everyone!

I was going to volunteer to be leader but I'm glad sappho96 stepped up, my hubby wants my to limit my computer time and spend more time with the kids....  Let me know if you need help, he is not home anyways so I can sneak a few inspires, hehehehe....

That 5K sucked!!!  But I finished!  Hopefully I can get my first stage done tomorrow.  Have a great day!

Hello!  My name is Geoff.  I think I've been on challenges with about half of you guys.  Including maverick_zh, Sledge and Sappho96 who were on my TdF team from last year--led by the mighty Thor.   

Too bad that the TdF didn't start yesterday.  I biked 65 miles.  :-(  I was able to watch him win a stage at the Agmen Tour of California.

This month I have the Vineman 70.3 race.  My biking has suffered this year.  So I'm really looking to this challenge to get my butt in gear.  TriWinMom--I'll be racing over in your side of the world later this year.  Owlgirl--raising a child is a true endurance event.   Congrads--and well done on getting your 5K done today.

Sappho96--you have my support for el presidente for life! 

I know nothing about Francaise Des Jeux--so I look forward to learning more.

BbMoozer - 2009-07-04 12:04 PM Hi Peeps - I'm Sarah and am on my last day visiting family in Wilmington NC. Lovin' the beach action here! Tomorrow we fly back to WI where it's been in the 60/70's lately - brrrrr! I too teach cycling Owl.

Glad someone has stepped up to be captain. Thank you! I have a 6 year old son so I can thoroughly identify juggling computer, family, training, kids, work, home stuff....

Happy 4th! And since I've been to France a few times, I will enjoy being 'Frenchy' on this team. Who has the baguettes and brie?

Baguettes and Brie.  Don't forget risotto.  I have some ready my recovery after my bike ride tomorrow.

mav - 2009-07-04 5:42 PM Bonjour! I am Marianne....so glad to be part of this challenge. Just finished my first HIM and need some motivation to stay on the bike. Tommorow I am riding 50-55 miles along the coast with some Massachusetts BT peeps. Looking forward to a beautiful day and scoring some points for the team!

Congrats on the baby owl girl ( I am an OB nurse. Enjoy every moment ...it flies by!!!

Glad to be back on your team Geoff! Vineman is close . I am riding with someone tommorow who is doing it too!

Happy 4th to all!!!!

I'm heading up there too--pending spousal approval. I'm swimming at 8:00 with a bunch of TNTer and then doing 75.

hey all, Im Zach. late post just got done working the 4th of July weekend/carnival. (Police Officer) Like Geoff said a couple of you were on my TdF team last year so looking for a good month and some fun.

bienvenue my fellow teamies.

couple of quick fdj rules - can we all get our avatars with francaise des jeux on and change our signatures to ALLEZ LES TREFLES BLEUS (which translates as go blue clovers).

kaqphin is currently preparing the spreadsheets and once they're up we can all log in with our goals and what we've ridden so far. to make my life easier i'd prefer it if everybody updated themselves on the spreadsheet but i am willing to mop up and shout encouragement from the hilltops! also i'll do us a teamlink boxie thingy later so we can stalk encourage each other during le tour

love saph the captain

Hi team - the google spreadsheet for tracking your teams results is up here:

Happy Sunday everyone!  I got my first stage in this morning.  It's brutally hot and humid here lately (I feel like the weatherman, as often as I write about the weather on my blog!).  But it looks like we have some more reasonable weather coming soon.  Maybe I'll feel more like biking then!!??

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! 

DON'T USE THIS ONE IT'S WRONG!!!
