Agritubel (Page 24)

I did two challenges before organizing my first one. So I had, um, twice as much experience as you have. LOL

Dear Team Agritubel,

I must confess.... I have been post padding in the Rabobank thread....

Let them pick.

Set up a spreadsheet, where they enter their goal (number portion) and their "units" (km, yds, minutes, hours, etc.) But it's up to THEM to enter this. (Not you.)

Simple is better. For example, look at the Taser Running spreadsheet from last month:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rGgl3-qx-LYZp1-N8hGALCQ&hl=e...

See how much they enter? Basically, you just set up a column to calculate the %.

Shame, shame, shame...

Setting up teams.... For me, that's the most time consuming part of the challenge....

I do it based upon things like post count, or personality, or their goal. (For example, I put the 100+ mile runners together on one team. I figured they were in a class unto themselves!)

Usually, I create the teams around a particular person.... For example, you KNOW that a team with Neal or Phil is going to be chatty. Put one or two challenge-experienced people on a team, and build the team around them.

Also, I take team requests. You'll find a lot of people want to be together again....

At least -- that's how *I* do it.

Cat might not do it that way..... But she could tell you what works for her.

I know, I know..... But they were being chatty in there. LOL

By "they" you mean me.  No one else is around right now

Hm. OK, that could be.

But I was replying to Mina's gruesome cake picture topic, too.

And Kendra's posts.

Good luck with that  

Sweet! 

Yay! Another post padder team member has arrived!

Now we can skyrocket our post count past Rabobank's!

Let the breakaway begin!

You don't need people around to be chatty usually Neal  

Who knows the wedding might become a weeding later a night  

I just got back from stage 4

Rode to the doctor and back home

I love that my doc is 20km away from my place

Now off to watch the tour last 30km, cya all later

Well, Neal and Kendra (both on Rabobank) have a side-challenge. It involves lots of post padding.

I think I''m going to go watch that, too!
