Welcome to the Tour De France,

Your team line up for this year is:

crews

doctorbob18

KOM

MaesMama

mattierocks

MDHillSlug

mekira

ratherbesnowboarding

starrlinda

toddg

 

The American Garmin Slipstream will be contesting their second Tour De France in 2009. Lead by last years Top 5 contender Christian Vande Velde the team also features accomplished kiwi sprinter Julian Dean, time trial specialist rider Dave Zabriske and accomplished british one day rider Dave Millar. 

The rest of the team features aup and coming riders with a range of strengths and the potential to achieve on breakaway stages while offering strong support to Vande Velde.

 

Just a quick reminder that the challenge rules are posted in the original sign up thread but if there are any queries please let me know!

Also... the one rule I need to remind you about is NO posting of information from the live Tour De France in team threads until AT LEAST 24 hours after it has occurred. This is to allow people to watch repeats or time delayed coverage without having their viewing destroyed by knowing the end result!

Have a great July... no doubt I will pop in occassionally.

Hi team! I am Kathy, on BT since Sept 08, love being on a challenge team.  Sitting watching the evening replay of today's stage.  Great fun although I could do without the miserable commercials on Versus!  I had a lovely ride today which completed 10% of my TdF goal.  Glad to get off to a good start as the weather has been less than cooperative lately (i'm in RI).  Hope you all had a great day. 

Anyone willing to make up a team log/link thingy we could put into our blogs?  I can barely copy and paste.....

Parlez Vous Argyle?  Go Garmin!

Thanks, Nicole.  The Garmin argyle roster is fabulous!  I have finally figured out how to get one of them into my log without having to re-read an old challenge instruction!!  Next year I will work on the design of a roster!

Happy biking team!

Hey everyone, hope you all had a good 4th of July! I had a sprint yesterday and then went for a very leisurely ride with some friends later in the day, so 2 stages down but not alot of miles so far.

Thanks for the team sheet Nicole.. glad to see we are teamates again!

Good Morning Team Garmin Slipstream!  Hope everyone had a terrific holiday weekend.  We have sun here in RI for the 3rd day in a row! That hasn't happened since April I think.  Going for an OWS in Newport somewhere this mornig and have to teach 2 spin classes tonight.  NOt as much fun as riding outside but it will keep me moving to my goal for the month.

Have a good day all!
