Quickstep Team Thread (Page 7)

Sounds like everyone had a good weekend.  I've got 6 of my 9 stages in the book.  I'm hoping the weather behaves this week so I can get the remaining 3 stages done in the open air instead of the trainer.

I had a race on saturday so one of my completed stages was in "competition mode".  I tried to channel Tour de France mojo to go fast on the bike!  Anyone else race over the weekend?

Just knocked out stage 8. It was a short 6 mile ride due to lack of time, but I needed to make sure to get a stage in today. I'm at 63% of my goal. I still have to push it, but I don't want to let any of you down.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

12 down 3 to go.  Let's finish this thing strong.  If we all do our part we will complete this thing at the top.

  With that...done.  Ended up 212.79.   Thanks guys...enjoy the tour.

Nice ride!  Congrats on meeting your goal.

I managed to get in stage 7 today.  Only 2 more stages to go.  All I have to do is stick to my training plan and I should meet my time goal no problem.  Go Team Quickstep!

4everblue - 2008-07-26 5:18 AM Hi Guys. Only got a few hours of stay of execution from the hospital & I've ended up here. Had a massive accident during last Sunday's challenge ride. Met the wheelarch of an enormous milk tanker lorry whilst we were going in opposite directions around a corner. Knocked unconcious, helicoptered to the nearest hospital, ended up in a coma in Intensive Care. Multiple fractures to face, to be operated on tomorrow, jaw broken in half, now fixed, could go on but it's too scary. Won't download the photo of my face Anyway, hope you are all doing well, don't think I will be out of hospital till Thurs/Fri. Go Quickstep, go.

Sorry to hear about the accident.  Hope you feel better soon.

Holy cow!  Enjoy the good drugs while you can get them and heal quickly!

Martin, I hope your bike faired out better than you did .  Seriously, I hope you're back in the saddle soon.

So, my name is Dee and I'm a Procrastinator.  21 days to do 10 stages. On day 20 I only have 5 done.  Dooohhhh...Well you gotta do what you gotta do.  I cranked out 3 stages today:  45 min on trainer this afternoon, 1 hr on mtn bike early this evening, followed by 20 more min on trainer.  That gives me 8 stages for 340 minutes.  Need 2 more stages and only 20 more minutes.  Will do trainer ride tomorrow morning before work and then something after work depending on the weather.  I will get it done tho.
