Omega Pharma Quickstep/RadioShack Nissan TDF Team Thread (Page 2)

I got in a few miles early this morning before work. I won't have time later today. Tonight is date night with the wife.

Almost 40% of my goal as of today.

I may need to change my goal miles with 14 stages left.

Keep it up everyone!

Awesome Job Stan... You Rock !!

I'm back home and "Back in the Saddle". Planning 75-80 miles this weekend after a

Fun 25 Miles this morning before work.

Team standings as of 2pm (EST) Friday - not counting any riders who have no data in their team spreadsheet

Sky = 29.2%

BMC = 25.6%

Omega Pharma = 24.1%

Garmin = 20.9%

Liquigas = 20.3%

Europcar = 8.5% (if I used the correct spreadsheet, they have multiple)

Good Job Gary !! We're gaining on them !!

Great Job Owl !! You are the (wo)man!!

I'm already done for today.  27 nice cool miles this morning. 'Finished and all put up before 7:30

We got to pick it up, our guys in the real race are taking it on the chin... Go Spartacus !

In my Ferris Bueller's teachers monotone voice

Soccermom ...? Soccermom... ? Soccermom ?  ....    

Dirk... ? Dirk ...? Dirk ... ?  

I know Dirk has been really, super busy.  He'll be here soon!

I have to wait for awhile to get my Saturday ride done.  My husband went salmon fishing and I don't have anyone else to watch our munchkin.  I'm planning on 45 miles.  Hopefully he gets home in time for me to get it done.  (He must return with salmon, though!  That man must stay out on the boat until salmon joins him!  I will give up my bike ride for some tasty fish!) 

Got some miles in this morning but looks like DW had a case of food poisoning and didn't want to be gone long.  Will get more miles in this afternoon.

As for Kirk, my two cents are that if he is planning on joining us then leave him on the team but not my call.  Time to kick it up folks! 

I'm cool with waiting for Dirk if he wants us to...

Tracy, how do you like that Salmon cooked ? I think I can smell it already ! I love me some fish too

Great Job Gary !!

I've got some pretty good miles planned for the "am" with some old guys(that I can almost keep up with!).   But, some buttery-garlicy Salmon would sure do me some good tonight... mmm....  Tracy is it ready yet ??

Hee hee hee!!!!  He got his limit of salmon!!!  Yum yum!!!!  He's getting the BBQ ready right now!!!!  Mmmmmm!!!!!

I managed to get 46 miles done, too!  I'd call today a win win for everyone! 

Team standings after the first week of racing:

1. Sky = 36.8% - all aboard! (staying in the lead)

2. Garmin = 32.1% - includes 1 who is off hunting somewhere (moved up 2 places)

3. BMC = 31.2% - includes 1 who has yet to start (dropped back 1 place)

4. Omega Pharma = 28.0% - includes 1 who has yet to start (dropped back 1 place)

5. Europcar = 19.9% - includes 1 who has yet to start (moved up 1 place)

6. Liquigas = 19.4% - includes 2 who have yet to start (dropped back 1 place)

Added another 32 miles yesterday and plan on at least another 30+ tomorrow.

Today is my Friday and plan on having the next 3 days off from work.

So, 30+ tomorrow, plan on at least a 50+ Tues., & Wed. not sure yet (if I feel good I may do a Lake lap 72 miles, if feeling lazy, at least 30 miles). I will be inputing my mileage in on Thursday. So at least 110+ miles the next 3 days.

Great job everyone.

Dirk has been busy getting everyone in the midwest back on their feet. He'll be here!

Awesome Stan !

 I got going pretty good this morning too.

60 Miles.

Great Job Janet !!

You're doing fine, Janet!  Great job!

I did a fun ride yesterday.  I pulled the munchkin in the bike trailer with my mountain bike with knobby tires at a local Tour.  I did the 13 mile route.  He got to drink chocolate milk and eat cookies at the turnaround.  

So I am getting late start for my goal.  I am a line crew supervisor for a power company in northern Indiana and we got SMASHED on June 29 by a huge storm.  I spent all of last week trying to recover from the storm and now I am playing catch up with everything else.

I have put in a goal but I will likely modify it with increased mileage once I have a chance to see what the hecks going on.  I'll try to get on board with the rest of the team and try not to hold us back.

Hey all!

Today was supposed to be an SRD but with my work schedule this week I at least got a swim in.  More rides coming but I think I am on track.

Dirk - Living in So. Louisiana and losing power for days with Katrina, Rita, and Gustav I am very thankful for the work you folks do!

Owl - That sounds like a great ride!!!

Janet - you are doing fine, keep it up!

Dan - nice job on the 60!
