Just very un-Tinkerbell! That's ok. I had Anna Nicole Peep for a month.



And I had Carol Ann Peep, staring into the flame.

kaqphin - 2008-07-01 9:04 PM Ok - Kristen asked for some sort of introduction to the Tour De France... my question is.. if I write it, where do I post it?

I would post it in the challenge forum - since there are lots of people that have signed up for the challenge that are unfamiliar with it (your's truly included)

JMHO

If there's no TdF forum this year, we can sticky the intro here. You ARE running the TdF Challenge, after all.

Lol well I was thinking about breaking it into sections:

Day 1: About the competition - length, stages, how they set the course, the logistics etc

Day 2: About the jerseys, teams, rules and general cycling terms

Day 3: This years favourite riders for Yellow

Day 4: Favourite riders for Green 

Day 5:  Maybe some history on past riders etc...

Am I missing anything?

hmmm not a bad idea... I wonder if we will get a TDF forum this year... Im surprised there isnt one by now!

 

I guess i could write it as a BT article but Im not sure how long those take to get put up...

was there a separate forum last year? I didn't really start posting in the forums until September

Yup... and the year before... I think its a good idea as it means things like results etc tend to stay out of the main forums so that people who do not want to see information because they arent watching the action live dont...

Maybe I should ask under the Training log support forum?

I'm going to New York in about 2 weeks.  It's starting to stress me out.  I just booked a different hotel because the last one didn't have any parking.

Plus I have my written exams the beginning of the week we are living.  I'm getting really stressed.

Oh, maybe something on strategy?
For example -> Like break-aways - and why the peleton sometimes lets them stay away?

Yup - maybe ssplit day 2 so one is about actual rules.... one is about cycling strategy and some of the ettiquette/traditions like riders going off the front through their home town and GC not being generally contested on the final stage...

I thought about KOM but apart from Mauricio Soler and maybe Zubeldia... most of the contestants will be GC riders...

White jersey might be fun... lots of new young guys this year
