Melon Presser 52116  | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge SUPER THANK YOU MISS KITTY CAT! I'm in. If possible I want to be on SKIL Shimano (if we're having one) and as a second Bbox. (They both have Asian riders  )I'm in for all 21 stages at 30 minutes each, so we're looking at a time goal of 630 minutes. |

Extreme Veteran 335 Herriman, Utah | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge Cat! Hey, long time, no chat my favorite former CSC Saxo-Bank teammate! Sign me up again. Had fun on your team last year, so that'd be my preference again. But I understand you probably like to share the love! So I'll hit 100% for whatever team you put me on P.S. Shameless plug ahead: I was featured in the WeightWatchers magazine for July/August here in the States, and I mentioned this challenge and beginnertriathlete.com in the article. Fun stuff. |

Cycling Guru 15134 Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge Guess I have to put in a distance goal as well as the stage one, right? 21 stages. 250 miles for distance (I'm marathon training again, so not a lot of time available for the bike).

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge Ok - we have just over 70 signups which means 6-7 teams at this stage! The challenge starts saturday so hope everyone is excited and ready to go!
Just to cover some of the questions that have been asked: - Yes distance/time in a race counts but there arent any bonuses for it - All bike time counts including spin classes and trainer time... Any other questions just let me know!
Cheers SuperCat |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge D001 - 2009-06-23 8:17 PM I'm in! Goals TBD.  (See, Cat? I did sign up ^^^^. It was just so long ago that you forgot about it. LOL) OK, I guess I need to set some goals, huh? Ummmmmmmmmmmm. Ummmmmmmmmmm. I'm going to be doing some traveling during July, so let's go with: 8 sessions, and 180 minutes. If July ends up being less crazy than I think it might, I'll raise this.... Thank you, SuperCat. |

Expert 616 searching for the elusive runner's high! | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge I have a silly question... Is the goal to get as close to your planned SESSIONS or MILEAGE/MINUTES or BOTH? Is it okay to go over the # planned (sessions) as long as you meet the goal or is it better to hit it without going over? Thanks for the help! |

Expert 1067 Douglaston, NY | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge kaqphin - 2009-07-01 6:29 AM antti asu - 2009-07-01 6:33 PM Yippee!!! Been waiting for this one!!! Put me down for 12 rides and 9 hours. I hope I'm not late... Not too late - teams wont be up til the end of the week.. challenge starts saturday! Phew - I thought I had missed my chance to join! I have 13 session scheduled for a total of 9 hours. Since I know nothing of the Tour (sacrilege, I know!), if there is an underfunded team with outdated equipment and out-of-shape riders, I believe that I belong there.  |

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: Third Annual Tour De France Challenge surfnturf - 2009-07-01 10:02 AM I have a silly question... Is the goal to get as close to your planned SESSIONS or MILEAGE/MINUTES or BOTH? Is it okay to go over the # planned (sessions) as long as you meet the goal or is it better to hit it without going over? Thanks for the help! Both and it is ok to go over all planned numbers but you don't get extra credit. There will be a spreadsheet that lists whatever you put in for your goals. If you have have 2 goals I believe they are averaged so if you finish 100% of your sessions but only 90% of your minutes you will end up at 95% complete. |
