As I know a few people do not regularly visit the challenge forum this is a brief reminder that the Tour De France Bike Challenge will be starting on Saturday.

The challenge is open to everyone who is going to be pushing pedals during July on anything  from a road bike to a tricycle, a mountain bike to a spin bike and everything in between! (although I will be drawing the line at paddle boats... in case you were wondering).

Its a team challenge designed to help motivate you to reach your individual goals during the Tour De France time period - its about being supportive and being fun! (whether you are interested in the Tour or not)

If you would like to be involved in the challenge sign up by posting in this thread:
http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=120374&posts=185&start=1

All the challenge details are also in the thread... I will be posting team line ups on Thursday PM/Friday AM (USA time) so now is the time to sign up!

Happy Pedaling
Cat

I'd love to ride every stage again like I did last year, but I've got this pesky race on the 20th that's going to require some down time before and after .........

Did you match the distances as well (if not the hills)?

Hell, I wish!!

The "rules" were a minimum of 15 minutes of riding and even though I rode every "stage" I certainly didn't put in those sorts of miles.

I think for the month I hit only around 600 miles last year.  But I was one of about 5 or 6 people that "rode" all 21 stages in the timeframe of the race.

I'm looking forward to it!  This is a great challenge.

Even if you aren't very experienced, feel free to jump in.  You don't have to ride all the stages.

I understand... Im trying to work out if realistically I should try and repeat the 21 this year...
