Absolutely... #333, you're in the machine... there's no going back now !
THREE MORE PLACES FOLKS, WHEN THEY'VE GONE THATS YOUR LOT...
Too late, too late will be the cry when the man with the Dossards has passed you by. If you don't sign up now, you'll be crying tears as big as October cabbages.

@cyclistphil - Hey team leader. My knee is healing well and I should be ready to rock and roll by the start of the Giro. I can't get much in for the weekends since I work a 62 hour shift on the weekends but I'll try to plow through big miles during the week.

Okay Ladles and Jellyspoons... Important Notice for all the willing victims of my Grand Tour Challenge. We're now down to one place vacant on the 4th team. At this point I've decided that I'm NOT going to be doing any transfers from one squad to another - if team 4 pick up their last rider before Saturday 10am GMT then that's fine, if not, they'll have to ride with a 8 person team. I'm now going to get started on making a few Dossards. Happy, Happy Me... I love photoshop Soooooo much!0

For those of you new to the Challenge, here's what to do now...
right click on the image of your number, save the image, then upload it into your profile picture for the duration of the challenge - not only is it a "nice touch" to show you're on the challenge, but it also makes it MUCH easier for the poor souls who have to go through all the posts and check/enter each one into the logging spreadsheet.
Plus, when people see your "race number" pop up in your newsfeed/timeline it helps publicise the whole set of challenges, so I'm not begging for riders with a couple of days to go...

If I've got your nationality wrong, I apologise, It's taken straight from the Strava signup... Give me a shout and I can fix it (but adding in "state flags" or so forth is sort of a bonus awarded to veterans of a few of the prior challenges...)0

Well, Brett's in Australia, so It's only "sort of" upside down... that's why I switched the number and not the headers/banners...
I like adding little "bits" in the design that mean something to the long-term participants of the race - like the "his and hers" versions of the CentralCali family... (321/324), or the "Sufferlandian" flag, or the flag of Koksijde for our resident Cyclocross Nut... it all makes it a bit of extra fun.
