Tour De France Challenge - the 8th Edition (Page 4)

WooHoo, Team SKY!!!!!!!

I have one today and a long one on Saturday planned. We'll be catching up in no time! Keep logging those rides.

ETA: I'll be adding all of team Sky to my friends list. You *may* get an occasional inspire from me. Keep up the hard work!

Stage 2 of 7 done.   Doing great, team.  We're widening the gap!

Stage 3 down for 19.8 miles.  Next stage will be this Saturday during a sprint tri!

I was derailed by work, life and weather last night, so today is makeup day. Then a group ride tomorrow. I hope the rain holds out this afternoon.

Crazy, right? I don't mind running on wet cobbles (so much) but on a skittery superbike? AAAAAAH

It's so good to see you again! You me and Casie are leading the Sky/Europcar charge ... love me some Sky piglets and I'd just love to drown Tommy Voeckler in a huge melon press.

And you too

Got another 1 3/4 hours in today on some fried legs.

Little itty bitty Stage 3 - impromptu 21 min. ride to and from LBS.  Rewarded myself with a fancy artisanal chocolate bar purchased at said LBS.

I got you covered! Enjoy Stage 3 and the vacation!

Finally got a couple in yesterday, the rain has been a challenge, although I should take a note from the TdF and just ride in it. The weather has been yuck for them this year.

Of *course* I remember you. You used to leave me inspires all the time and sometimes I'd get off my lazy (honestly, crazy busy) azz and leave you one back also I know you would especially appreciate a {MELON PRESS}

hey teamies

apologies for the lack of posts recently: a few family issues got in the way of training and internet time all back on track now and managed a 10.72 mile trainer ride during the football. i'm at 20% of my goal so far so am on schedule

fab to be on such a cool team - tommy voeckler is my hero and am sooo proud of richie porte. 

Stage 4/7 done.  1:03:31, 17.77 mi.  Longest ride yet this year and it went great, although my body isn't exactly thrilled with me at the moment.  Can't believe I'm already more than halfway to my goal!  Might just have to increase it.

Every time we get rain around here, we get lightening too.  Two people have been killed by lightening in the past couple days so I think I'll stay inside when it does that, thank you.  All the Tour rain riding looks miserable, more like Classics weather than the usual hot, hot, and hot.  Not sure which is worse, frankly.

Completed two stages over the weekend. 

The first one was the bike leg for a sprint triathlon (17 miles).  I felt like I had a rough swim, despite being 10 seconds faster than my time last year.  I was about .5MPH faster on the bike, and my run was the same.  I did win my age group, which is always nice.

The second ride was a recovery ride from the next day.  I took my walmart cruiser out, which was hilarious with all the race bikes I rode with

21.3 miles for that ride.  Nice weekend of riding.
