Omega Pharma Quickstep/RadioShack Nissan TDF Team Thread (Page 3)

I rode 8 miles tonight with my wife.  I suppose I should count the ride but it is nowhere near a training ride for me but it is a great time to spend with her.  She is just getting into riding but only as a fitness thing and not to be competitive at all.  She will likely not be getting more than 15 miles or so on any given ride.

Tomorrow is a long run for me so no riding.  I hope to knock down about 90 more miles on the bike this week but I'll not hold my breath.

You're contributing to the team and that's what matters.  You don't need to worry about keeping up with anyone but your goals.

Wow !! You guys are awesome.

I'm going to start ramping back up to decent weekend mileage starting tomorrow.

Couldnt resist chiming in here too.. this challenge is for YOU so its not about anyone else's goals... it is about reaching YOUR personal goals which in turn helps the team. And everyone 'wins' together with support along the way!

It looks like we are in a bunch sprint in the mountains! 

Team Standings as of 7am EST Thursday.

BMC = 48.9%

Garmin = 48.7%

Sky = 48.2%

Omega Pharma = 45.6%

Europcar = 39.2%

Liquigas = 37.6%

I'm glad you mentioned that - I was wondering.  I missed a session but plan to make up the miles.  Just don't know if it'll be by adding to others or squeezing in another ride.  Can we still make adjustments to our goals?

Short ride last night but hoping to get in a nice long one this weekend after my volunteer shift at the New Town Tri.

Easy (read:Slow) 25 miles this morning. Surprisingly cooler and pleasant...

Great job so far everyone!!!

So, I am up to date through yesterday. I had a total of 155 miles while away.

That should help with our standings.

I will be having a long group ride in a couple days, so that should add also.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Super Stan !! Wow, you are a mileage beast !

Friday the 13th tomorrow. Let's be careful out there 

The weather should be good for riding up here in the North this weekend. 'Looking forward to seeing everyone's #s.

Hmm, I updated my miles this morning and we were at 48% so I must have just missed the cutoff.  Currently the spreadsheet shows 51% unless he is using a different calculation.  Either way nice job folks!  Not sure I will have miles in tomorrow but Saturday should get another 30-40 miles.

Put in another 27 miles yesterday. It was brutal. Just so happened to be an interval & climbing day. To add to it, it was windy, warm & humid. I would have liked to have added more miles, but just couldn't muster anymore.

Saturday is the Death Ride. Wish I could have participated, but work and the cost just keeping me away. 129 miles & over 15,000 feet of climbing. Next year it's a must.

You guys are beast !!

I got a nice easy 26 this morning before work. The weather has been very nice here in the early mornings.

33 miles yesterday. It was easy and could have done another 20-30+. I wanted to save the legs for later today after work, as I have a group ride of 50+. Since everyone in the group opted out of the Death Ride today, we decided to have one of our own (just shorter).

Not sure where we stand in the standings as of this morning, but I will do my best to keep us in contention. I would like to see us in the top 3 spots. We can do it!

Everyone keep up the hard work and I'm proud of everyone that is keeping to their goals.

I got 26 miles in this morning before work. Light sprinkling rain, at the beginning very refreshing a nice ride altogether. Like Stan, I'm saving the legs for a group ride in the morning, with a bunch of old guys that I can almost keep up with )

PS. Stan, your # of sessions is showing blank...

Hey all!

Just added another 31 miles and will get some more tomorrow.  Nice job everyone!

My long ride is done for the week.  I just finished 65 miles and I feel surprisingly good.  this is the longest ride of the season for me so far and I want to make sure I get these in as much as possible over the next 5-6 weeks.........HIM in 7 weeks.

It appears to me everyone seems to nailing down some good mileages.

I'm planning another 30 miles tomorrow after noon.

LOL

Sounds like the old nutrition plan of the TdF. lol

Great job on the mileage!

Just heading out of work and will be on the road with about 9 others for a long group ride. I'll update ya all  tomorrow.

MEN !! Straight up !!

That's what were dealing with right here !! Awesome. Proud to know ya !!

Going to have to remember this and give it a try!

Had a good group ride yesterday.

We put in 83 miles. Was a bit windy & warm, but felt like a good ride.

Edit: Looks like my numbers are a bit off. I'm going to have to add them up again to make sure they're right.
