We are looking great! Keep up the great work everyone and remember to update the spreedsheet before monday for the weekly rankings.

Dang we look hot...look at those legs we have

Mountain stage for me today....38.9 miles...last medium ride before Ironman...strange that 39 mile ride seems short now.

 These are good looking legs!

 I'm lurking until we hit the mountains; that's where I'll make my move.  I'm more of a climber, due to my lithe, whippet-like physique.... 

 I too am a climber.. in weeks 2 and 3 look for me to make my move!

Happy riding everyone!

Finally decided on my new bike..getting a Gunnar Steel bike that I can have a custom paint job on it...picking a hot pink color.

Only downside it takes 5-6 weeks to come which means riding it on the island in MN in August.

Pink is nice! So if I wanted purple I could get purple?

Black is standard color.

Purple yep probably 50 variations of purple....lots of hot pinks too.

My LBS is ordering the color book so I can pick out color after IM. They use MPG or MGP colors that are used at car repair shops.

Last ride at home before IM..had my Zipps on..love the sound my rear hub makes..hills seemed easier.

Next stage for me is short warm up to get kinks out Saturday and then the big one 8000 feet of climbing over 112 miles. Not going to win or fight for the polka dot jersey though...I just want to have fun and make the time cut offs.

Fun picture of my kids with race t's on...

Awe! Very cute kids, cool shirt too!

Great picture Kathy! Very cute.

Unexpected set back tonight.. my bike is making some clicking noises and I can't seem to isolate the problem so I'm having someone take my bike to the store tomorrow (I have to work all day). Hopefully its an easy fix (and they can switch out my race tires for me as well) and I can go for a big mountain stage Friday morning!

Our guy is in yellow so lets keep it going team!

Just a little motivation...

Hi team,

Here is the news, gossip and results from week 1 of the Tour De France bike challenge.

Thanks to everyone for your participation so far

See you for the week 2 results next week

9th place?! Okay...pretty much nowhere to go but up! No biggie! We must all be sprinters...We're just hanging out at the back of the peleton waiting to charge past all the other teams at the end!

Go team go!

KathyG and crazy BT jockstrapper at mile 10.5, I think, taken a little while ago...

Now that is having fun!

Congrats on the Ironman! That is some impressive feat!!

Well stage 16 is tonight so that means we are running out of days! I feel like I'm letting the team down with having the biggest commitment (in terms of miles) and lagging behind. But rest assured, I will ride a century this weekend if I have to in order to reach 300 miles! So if I can get in over 150 miles in a week with a full time job, everyone can get to 100% so lets go team!! wooooo
