Big 12 Week 4.

This will be a long week for some of the team!

Team Captains:

Just waiting for our crazy Canadian brothers + our west coast peeps to submit their weekly results and I will post the new rank order for review and comment.

Word to the rules: your teammates should be posting their weekly totals in their logs.  In other words, the weekly total in the spreadsheet submission for each teammate should equal what is posted in their logs.

Word to determining the winning team: Please take a minute to review the below re: criteria for determining the winning team.

Word about declaring a winner: The Challenge ends Friday night. Brett (Rocketman) and I are both doing a metric Century on Saturday. As such, I'll be gone from before sunrise on Saturday morning to well into the late afternoon (the course, which mirrors much of a leg of the Tour de Georgia, is in the north GA mountains) and then I have to help my wife pack the battlewagon minivan for an early Spring Break departure on Sunday morning ... so I will not be able to do the compiling until at the earliest after they leave mid-Sunday morning (she never leaves on time ).

Rick (Daremo) has agreed to take over the duties of the month-end compilation. Prior to that, though, I'd like to work out any potential quetions and/or problems we might foresee in determining the winning and losing teams.

See below ... any comments?

Canucks Data for week #4.

Well our teams stopped dancing, but we are still riding.

Results posted.

Somebody help me!  How do I change my table to add the last week (week 5) to it?

Once again I made a mistake with Sachinh's time. 

The corrected table is attached.

Team Captains:

With the WCC + PAC 10 submitting their weekly totals, the draft week 4 results stack up as shown below and ...

 HOLY SMOKES 

... we have a race to the finish - both in terms of which team can win and which team can lose.

Remember, the stakes are that the winning team gets to choose the avatar + signature line of the losing team.

Both the top and bottom teams are too close to call ... how much you ride today through Friday night will likely determine the outcome of the challenge.

It is just that close!

One of my team members just informed me that I made an error on there goal for the month of march.  I put in there time as 600 min instead of 6hrs.  Not sure why it just got noticed, but looking back at previous posts they are indeed correct.  So that will raise up of % complete for the past few weeks.  Us Canucks are doing stronger then you thought!  I'll post our full march results tommorow with the goal corrected.  So that would put us at 85.7% last week, which bumps us up to third.

Cheers

Team Captains:

I will be out tomorrow doing a metric century w/Brett (Rocketman) in the north Georgia mountains, hopefully busting my hump up one of the gaps before lunch.

Rick (Daremo) has agreed to step up to do the compilation of the team results. Scott (Oneword) has agreed to represent TEAM SEC/Hawaii in tallying our teams results + submitting.

Thank you for being great team captains; for stepping up to lead your team through motivation + inspires, to set a great example with your own efforts and to compile the results from your team as well as double-check/proof my team compilation.

You guys are truly what makes BT a great resource.

I cannot wait to check in when I get back tomorrow night to see the winner ... and the losers avatars and signature lines!

RIDE LOTS!

Alright - I believe this is where we end up.  We had a great finish and with the exception of one slacker (my buddy kpallen who didn't even offer an excuse!) we are all 100%.  Unfortunately that 33% is weighing us down like a boat anchor. 

We will have to see where you all end up.....

Well, we had a fantasic finish, with all members reaching 100% of their goal.  Hail to the Victors!!

So I'm going to be a little late trying to get the results in people... My home laptop was stolen last week, and I have my wifes work laptop at home but it doesn't have our spreadsheet on it.  I tried to download a previous one but it wont do it for some reason, it keeps looking for one of her work network drives that it isn't connected to right now.  If someone can download week 4 data for the crazy canucks I email the excel sheet to [email protected] I can update and finish off the spreadsheet.  If not I'll try to get in to work tommorow where I have a copy of the spreadsheet saved and get the info in.

Cheers

Wow!!! Way to go Rick! Here's to Momma and baby ...

I survived my century in the mountains.  Don't worry about the compilation after church/during our baby's nap (wife took the other 2 kids to Orlando for Spring Break, so I am bacheloring it with our 18 month old). 

Alright so here is our data... Finally!  Bike group is meeting in 10 min... gotta go

Cheers

James

 Not to be a stickler but your  "Member TTL % of Goal" is less than the 100% showing.  Sorry I am just trying to save our lousy Big 12 hides from the shame of the loser's avatar :^ )

Congrats!!! Looks like you have a new riding buddy!

Team Captains:

Month end results ... I ended up tallying the SEC, ACC + West Coast results based upon the entries in the team member's logs.  Please take a look for accuracy with a goal of confirming/denying by 8:00 est tonight.

Also, please be certain that your team's total match those that are in your team member's blog.  As the rules stated in the beginning of the month, all work-outs much be in the team member's blog in order to count.

Take a look and chime in with any corrections.  We will announce the rank order around 8:30 pm tonight (or as soon as I can get the baby to bed as I am bacheloring it with the baby this week!).

THANKS!
