Tour De France Bike Challenge 2008 - SIGN UP (Page 2)

Neat idea.  Count me in -- goal tbd.

A little birdie suggested Devolder for the GC....

I would like to see Gert Stegmans get a chance to sprint for himself... he is such a likable guy!

So you want to be on Quickstep for the challenge?

Hey Cat, here's my goal:

6 sessions, 9 hours

Works out to be a light month of biking because of race tapering. Don't worry, I can make it up in smack talk post padding.

Fixed that for you, Jen ^^^^. Um, not that I'd ever do anything like that, myself.

Thanks, Dee!  You're such a giver.   

A year without the TdF Challenge is like a year without the TdF.  Either one is just too horrible to imagine.  Of COURSE I'm in.

Goal is TBD.  I will be out of town 1 week with no bike, so I have to check the dates on when I can ride.

I DO try. (P.S. The above was not a post pad. It was a shameless attempt to keep myself ahead of Jen and Cat in the BT user listings.)

If that's not a post pad, could you please define it for me? 

I didn't know anything about challenges last year!

In July I'm focusing on sprint distance rides and bricks (and one sprint tri) and my once weekly bike commute. So, I'm in for 9 stages and 110 miles.

Are you in Dee?

I'm in for the TdF challenge.

Still need to work out my goals though. Been loving the bike lately so I'm looking forward to this challenge!

Of course - just set your goal for the 23 days taking into consideration your time away - I will put you on a team and you can pop on the team thread and say hello when you get back 

Cairns will be a bit of a change from Melbourne this time of year! Enjoy!

kaqphin - 2008-06-23 9:24 PM Are you in Dee?

 

Probably not. Taking vacation time during July.

And youve earnt it! Well at least when you are around you can talk cycling with me!

Even if I'm the only one. They weren't an option last year. Tut, tut!

Well I'm in too and here are my goals.

I will ride every day the riders of LeTour ride ( I think they have 2 rest days this year) and I will ride at least an hour. Hills if they are doing hills and flats if that is what the day calls for.

I would love to be on anyones team that doesn't mind that I ride lots, talk little

Chris

Sounds like we may be aiming for a CSC reunion huh? 

They were an option, just no one requested them....  

Welcome to the madhouse

This months challenge just goes for the duration of the tour instead of the usual whole month.. I will be announcing teams next week which includes a team thread where you can meet all your team mates.

If you have any questions just ask
