Wow everytime I check in we seem to have more signups!!!

88 riders taking part so far and I suspect I will get team line ups up late Friday/early Saturday (USA time) depending on how late I sleep in tomorrow

Just realised I had forgot to update my volume goal.

Put me down for 1000km. I have some work obligations in the last week that are forcing me to scale down on the volume side.

So: 21 stages for 1000km.

LET'S GO!!!

Okay,
Sorry I am late on this. Had a lot going on, but I won't have much ride time. Leaving for my mission trip on July 12. So, here goes. 4 sessions and 75 miles.

I know it's not much, but it's what I can get done in the time I have.

Hi Kendall,

Cat is probably sleeping right now. (Due to her being upside down in the world, and all....)

However, here's what she'll probably do:

When the teams are ready, she'll post an an announcement listing everyone's team assignments. Then she'll start new threads for each team.

You'll be able to click on your team thread, and introduce yourself there.

Eventually, she'll put up some team spreadsheets (or maybe convince "someone else" to create the spreadsheets, because she hates doing them). Your team's spreadsheet will show your goals. After you work out, you can update the spreadsheet with your latest info.

Each week (or however often she wants to do it), she'll post a "current team standings" announcement, showing where your team stands in relation to all the other teams.

Welcome to the Challenge forum!

Please count me in too!  I'm training for a century in late September, so this will be a great way for me to stay honest!

Oh, and please put me on YANTI's team.  I want to be on the team with the most T.I.T.S.!!

My goals are:  14 stages, 18 hours.

Hi Dee,

 

Thanks for this.. Ive been sick and well not so good on communicating the details this time around...

I am finally putting teams together with all the requests which I hope I have correct! Keep your eyes on the next hour or so and hopefully all the details will be up!

 

Cheers

Cat

Anyone doubling up and also doing the MapMyRide TdF Challenge?

I'm logging my rides, but no points are accruing... why?

I sent a message and got a simple reply stating that they would look into my logs to determine the cause, but so far nothing back.

So, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar problems.  MMR really isn't all that, and it's got nothing on BT!

Have you tried asking in the TdF forum? I know some people are doing the Versus challenge, and have posted there.

I did see the MMR challenge, but didn't sign up. I *already* know how I do compared to the TdF riders. (And it's not good. LOL)

I was for a while.  I had points, but only 'verified' points count for the virtual tour.  You need to have GPS backup/download.  So if you dont download your trip - it doesnt count.  You are only entered into the daily drawing.

I do like the auto routing feature on MMR as opposed to clicking every few feet to get an accurate elevation on climbs though.
