TdF Challenge - Team Blanco/Cannondale

My goal for the challenge/TdF: 7 sessions, 30 minutes per session (210 minutes total).  I'm doing this based on time per my training plan, so hopefully that works.

My goal is 21 sessions for a total of 250 miles. Two down, but I'm not making a lot of progress on the mileage, just shy of 25 miles so far.

Woo Hoo let's go team! My goal is 8 stages 100 miles. Seems small but considering i've only ridden my road bike twice in the last few months it's pretty challenging for me. I'm going to count my spin classes as one stage/12 miles since they last an hour and I actually average 15miles/hr when I ride. I think that's a fair estimate. I don't want to go by time because I am actually shooting to do most of my riding on the road and not in spin.

Lets ride!

Hello team! In for 600 miles over 18 stages. I'm off to a little bit of a slow start thanks to some mechanical issues on my last two rides but I have about 50 ish miles in over 2 stages.

Awesome looking group so far. I'm just checking in before my morning ride, so I'll post my goals later this morning.

So I'm in for 13 rides, 575 miles. This week is my yearly big bike week, so I should be getting in some good rides to start off. The weather isn't co-operating, as it looks to be super hot and maybe rainy, but I'll hammer away.

So far I've got 2 rides and 99.5 miles.

Got my first ride in- yayy!!! 1 stage 15 miles. I will definitely hit 100% I promise. I love this challenge.

Ride on guys!

I am in 16 rides 400 miles

I did 11.5 miles yesterday

Hi All, just getting a chance to check in. I'm good for 13 rides and 400 miles. I'm training for IMWI so I've been riding alot. I raced an Oly tri yesterday so I'm counting that one, 1 down for 25 miles and 12 for 375 to go.

I've never done this before so I am assuming we post every time we ride?

Day 2: 8 miles

I will def be doing longer bikes on the weekend to get my miles in

Ride 1 done: 35 minutes

Keep up the good work everyone! I finished stage 3/21 yesterday for 11.10 miles (36/250). I need to get some long rides in.

JoAnne once we have the spreadsheet up you'll be able to log your rides and miles there.

Good Afternoon Team.
Just to clarify, we are logging our rides on our usual training logs until the spreadsheets are done ?

Through Monday - 3 stages @ 86 miles
* I'm in for 21 stages @ 500 Miles.

Great !

How'd you guys do this morning ?
I only got 18 miles in, but that keeps me on pace.
Celebrating Independence Day with a 50-60 mile morning ride.

What are you doing ?

I've not done any riding this week yet but not to worry. I will be putting up long rides Thu and Sat and I will be riding some on Friday as well.

Rode this morning - ended up only being 36 minutes, but it was better than nothing.  Tipped over and now my derailleur needs adjusting.

Happy Independence Day!

Here's one for some team bragging rights: http://app.strava.com/activities/64744316

151.81 miles in 8 hours, 12 minutes. 6726 ft of elevation gain, nearly all of which was in the first 100 miles.

I've ridden everyday so far and this puts me at 276.6 miles.

Way to go, that's a pretty nice ride and some serious mileage and elevation!

I finally got another ride in the books today, 67 miles. I was hoping for a little more and got a late start so it will have to do. Looking to ride Friday and Saturday as well to bring that mileage up. So far 2 rides for 92 miles.

Wow !! That is Awesome !

Good 4th Ride.
Unfortunately, out of town now but still on Schedule.

Currently @ 5 Stages / 162 Miles

Nice!
