Garmin-Chipotle Team Thread (Page 4)

If only I could ride anywhere near as much as you in a month. 

HAHA I was about to say sure thing until I looked at your spreadsheet. LOL I haven't ridden that far all year.

Though that would be a fun side bet if I was anywhere close to your distance.

Very impressive.

Good thing this is based on % and not total time or distance.

How about some bangers and mash...

Stage 2 done for me today: 103 minutes

I'm at a total of 230.7 minutes, which is 42.72% of my goal.  

Next stage is Sunday. 

Hi Team - just a quick reminder that Monday July 14th is the LAST day of week one of the challenge.

It would be great if at this time you could make sure your google spreadsheet is up to date with your achieved and GOAL stages and distance/time for the week. (there are currently a few blank spaces on some of the teams)

I will get an interim result up in the forum on Wednesday assuming that whatever is in your team spreadsheet is the results for your team.

I have updated the spreadsheets so they are all calculating goals consistently across the board and as always if you have any questions let me know.

Your team spreadsheet is here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pfYL7DR_dx-AejRBIPjLOCw&hl=en

Hope everyone has had a great first week! Dont forget to keep supporting and inspiring your team mates - make sure you all keep in touch! 2 weeks left! (and feel free to stir up the other teams a bit too)

Cat

Added to the spreadsheet.  

Enjoy the time with the family.   

Just a heads up on the spreadsheet: I added the original percentages, which were just a representation of the miles or minutes you've done towards your goal.  Cat changed that so that it averages the percent of stages done and percent of goal done.  For most people, that increased the amount done, but for a few of us, that number went down.

Right now, we're at 30.29% as a team, but we are already 38.7% of the way through the month.  Hopefully we can all get some riding done this weekend!! 

Hellooooo

Thanks Jen for letting everyone know - I remembered a few teams changing with the update and couldnt remember who..

Im sure with the weekend everyone is out getting some serious riding done  

So Geez is out riding in Kansas and this skinny Liquigas doper wearing all black tries to pass me....

Flattened him out and left him behind.... Stage 7 93 miles ending at 2 am.

BTW... stage 7 included a 13 mile Midnight Bike Ride with 1079 of my bestus friends. Part of the course took us through the limestone caves in Lenexa, KS

 About 1.5 miles of claustrophic cycling

Just loaded up from Napster some tunes from our Team's new favorite band, The Flying Burritos .  For you old farts, the band includes Graham Parsons, long departed from the Byrds. I dont know if I like the tune Hot Burrito #1, Hot Burrito #2 or Hot Burrito #3 the best.  Will listen tonite while intervaling the strip.

BTW... they have a tune called Wheels with the lyrics: "We're not afraid to ride" . How appropriate!!!

It appears Team Liquigas hangs out at the drugstore instead of at Chipoltle.

That night ride sounds really cool, especially the cave. I would love that!

I have 4 stages done with 56.8 miles in those stages. I had to cut my windy ride short at 14 miles instead of 20 because I was DIEING in that wind. I cannot believe how sore I am today from that ride! But I have worked in the extra 6 miles into other rides next week. I'm at 34% which should be right on track! 

Wemoon... they dont turn the wind off for a triathlon or IM !!!

Oh, I know... which is why I went out in the first place. My initial thought was to scrap the whole thing. 35 mph wind gusts are just a little too intense for 20 straight miles in a training ride. 

Awwwwwwfulllllllly quiet here kids!!! Inspired by Wemoon the Geez went out into 15-20 mph winds and did a 61 mile stage 8.

 Wemoon.... let me know when you go out into a tornado... we got a lot of those in Kansas!!!

We get a lot of those in MN as well... 35 mph winds might as well be a tornado! I am surprised I stayed upright on my bike. Now when I go out in 10 mph winds, like yesterday, it feels like a cake walk!
