You do not have to ride everyday at all, in fact very few of the riders (typically just 2 or 3 out of 36) will ride every day of the tours. Many folks will ride 10 or so days of the 21, some less some more. Some riders will be able to contribute 200km over the 21 day period other may push 2,000km. Every single Km helps the team. The key is to be part of it and share the camaraderie and fun0 -
OK I am in. I have a Strava account but I have not been using it. I have 2 years of data in MapMyRide. So what do I have to do to join the Giro? I don't have a cycling computer or anything like that. I know Sufferlandrian so maybe I can be on his team. Also how do I get a number?0

Still not quite enough for a second team
Well, looks like I have to ride now...and that's OK. Just warning the team, I will not be riding at all from 5/29-5/31 though, the bike doesn't fit in/on the car we're taking on vacation. See y'all on the road!
Please add me!!!

ok folks - I haven't forgotten this thread - but I'm away from the computer for the rest of the day - could I ask Clive @cloggsy71 if he could post an updated version of our prospective riders based on this list from the middle of the first page...

(add the strava stuff if people have quoted it clive, but don't sweat the dossards, i've still got the giro from last year on file) at that point we can see how many riders we've got, and how we're doing.
It's great that there's so many new riders - only problem is, to keep the teams relatively well balanced, I'm going to have to check the strava historys to get a feel for your average distance if you're a newcomer to the challenges - anyone not ok with that ??

Sounds fine to me here's my strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/7795900

I'm interested in this. I'm commuting to work 3 times a week, 23.8 miles, in preparation for a 204 miler in July. I will set up a Strava account tonight and figure out how to get it to work with my Garmin.

I'm good for 500+ miles a month :-). Will do a metric this month, and an real one too if I feel froggy :-).0

Here is my Strava link. I have some group rides this month and have pledged 200 miles this month in the Move your *kitten* challenge. https://www.strava.com/athletes/56955890

Wow the difference between "Imperial" and "Metric" dates sure is confusing, here in the USA it is 5-2-2015, other places it is 2-5-2015.
I guess I must get used to saying "May 5th, 2015"0 -
