I think what scares me is that you know what the categories are of you climbs since that is such an arbitrary distinction (at least at the tour)

I played around with some of the formula's on the spreadsheet since the % complete was just hard-coded zero.  I don't know if that is what Cat will officially use or what, but I think it works.  As for at the end or week 3 I just plugged in 100% for all of us since this whole team is going to make it to the

Champs-Élysées and enjoy our victory lap

I can tell you how I normally do it (but I dont know that its the official way but Im not very tech savvy)

I just hit quote on the post as if Im going to reply to it in the thread.... copy everything than comes up in the window.... (including the picture) ... then paste it all into my goals on my training log and remove things like the <Quote> marks to tidy it up...

Might work for you... if not some one smarter than me will hopefully be able to help! 

I did it I did it... I am NOT a complete idiot!!!! Now to bike!

I will be camping from Wednesday through Sunday so I have to get me rides in now. 

Congrats!!! Have a great ride  

yes, it took some searching to find out about the hill categories. I am basing it off of this

http://www.velonews.com/article/78643

which says:

• The easiest is a Category 4, which is typically less than 2km long and about 5 percent grade, or up to 5km at a 2-3 percent grade.
• A Category 3 can be as short as one mile with a very steep grade, perhaps 10 percent; or as long as six miles with a grade less than 5 percent.
• A Category 2 can be as short as 5km at 8 percent, or as long as 15km at 4 percent
• A Category 1, once the highest category, can be anything from 8km at 8 percent to 20km at 5 percent.
• An hors catégorie (“above category&rdquo rating is given to exceptionally tough climbs. This could either be a Category 1 whose summit is also the finish of the stage, or one that is more than 10km long with an average grade of at least 7.5 percent, or up to 25km miles long at 6 percent or steeper.

So my cat 4 hill by my house is 2.5km with an average 5% and the mountain is 11km at 7.5

Pat: hurray for the dedication to do the trainer workouts. and as I am learning it really is all about the watts Everyone coming to town for worlds was so scared of that hill in Stanley Park and they wouldn't believe us when we said it wasn't that bad.

Scott: .85.... wow!  that's awesome!!

well I am already behind as the weather didn't agree with my desire to ride. so I stayed indoors and baked a cake   Heading out of town today until thursday night so I will be on off and on but zero bike time.  just all it a recovery week for all the riding I will do when I get back!

happy weekend! 

Awesome, Scott, congrats.  And down the road,

How she grows up so quickly... congrats Rob. 

Rob, if I'm able to race again this season, I'll probably do an HSBC one since they've given me a credit when I pulled out of Binbrook last minute.

July 6, 2008 - US Team Columbia's Kim Kirchen had another good day to place second in Stage Two of the Tour de France. The result earned Kirchen the Green Points Jersey and moved him up into second place in the general classification, one second behind race leader Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne).

You are Captain.. there needs to be music and an echo thing..

CAPTAIN... CO LUM BI AAAAAAAA

get RIDING You all! 

Hey Heidi, I know there are better answers out there, but I found a web site that had this answer

YELLOW

Awarded to the leader in the general classification, i.e. the man in front overall. It was created in 1919 as an homage to the yellow paper of l'Auto magazine, founder of the Tour de France in 1903. Eddy 'the Cannibal' Merckx wore it for a record 111 days.

GREEN

The next most prestigious jersey is given to the leader in the points classification which rewards sprinters. During each stage, points are attributed during the intermediary sprints and at the finish. The jersey was introduced in 1953. Germany's Erik Zabel won it a record six consecutive times between 1996 and 2001.

POLKA-DOT

Awarded to the rider who earns most of the points at each summit of a hill or pass. The winner is known as the King of the Mountains. Although the award was introduced in 1933, the distinctive jersey was not introduced until 1975. Scotland's Robert Millar was King of the Mountains in 1984.

WHITE

The newest of the jerseys was introduced in 1975. Given to the best young rider (i.e. under 25) in the general classification, it was abandoned in 1989 but reintroduced in 1999.
