    (serious answer - I'll launch a new thread for signups to the TdF on Monday/Tuesday next week (23/24th) - date depending largely upon when I decide to take my "rest day" from riding)

    I would really like to get in on this as well. Hope I'm not too late to the party again.

    Not at all - we've not started yet - but as I say, keep your eyes peeled from Monday 23rd am, because i'm expecting there to be a fair bit of interest this time, and I'd really like to keep things down to 4 teams maximum - because 36 people logging for 21 days is quite a bit of data to capture and verify - especially when some people have 3 or more rides in one day...

    Stick my name down Mark, any number is fine although with my IRL dossard being with 340, I fancy 34? if a 4th team happens, wasn't in this last year so looking forward to another blast, I may not go quite as full on as I did with the Giro though:)

    34x would be a fifth team - 301-9, 311-19, 321-29, 331-39...

    What I'll probably do, is start the thread with everyone who's already expressed an interest in here pre-allocated to their prior number if they rode last year, and just fill in the gaps with the new riders....

    I definitely would love to be in...loved the Giro team.
    My only worry is that I will be on vacation (cycling tho!) quite a bit in July. Since we will be on the move daily I am not sure of the quality of my wifi. I will definitely have my Garmin so my rides will get recorded.

    So I can promise hopefully regular mileage for my team, but reporting could be on and off depending on conditions. I just don't know what to expect....but we will be home before the end of the Tour so I can then do a quality control on my inputs.

    Sounds like big fun. I'm new, but would like to participate. As I ride trail more than road, my hours are high, but my miles are low. (averaging 8-9mph tends to do that).
