Saw some nice photos already. It's amazing all the places people ride.

I did get a ride in today before we left Bermuda. I won't get another ride in until 5/13/2014 as we will be traveling home until then. My rides are posted to Strava and Garmin if you need data before then. Internet time is expensive on the ship.0

Come on Fourth Team!!! I'm not seeing a lot of entries on the rides log. 0

okay - as I may have hinted earlier - I've been working on a logging/recording spreadsheet in google sheets.
I've not finished adding bits to it, and there may be the occasional glitch in the odd formula (as you'll appreciate when you see the size of the damned thing), but it's about safe now to release it "into the wild"...
so - if you've a machine that can cope with Google Documents applications in the browser, have a look at this link...
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qoBU3Om2ZzFmPSacvUlwW5n5cG3_mF2JYPWGwnbRyuU/edit?usp=sharing
You should see a "read only" version of the document, so don't try adding your rides to the thing onscreen or anything silly like that.
a couple of features you may like - aside from the main "team view" display in the "Summary" tab where everyones rides are amalgamated, added into team scored by the day and totalled by rider and team - there are a couple of other tabs...
The "Leaderboard" tab is an automatically updated analysis of the GC, Sprint and KoM tables.
The "Distance by Team" tab hides a graphical representation of the distances ridden by each team, and compared to the overall distance of the actual race... it's a bit of a work in progress at the moment, as I'm missing the key to the different lines. (the Pink line, naturally enough is the Actual Race Distance)
If anyone spots any problems, drop me a PM and explain what's going wrong.
Cheers.0 -

Spread sheet worked beautifully.
Wish the rest of my team would add some miles. :laugh:0 -

Aaargh...I feel terrible. Could not ride Friday OR Saturday (my mom is here for mothers day weekend). I will be out riding tomorrow for sure...and will try to make up for my slow start next week!0 -
My sincere apologies Team 2. Unexpected family duties required me to stay off the bike this Friday and Saturday. I should be single, lonely and ready to ride for the remainder of the challenge. I expect to have to get wet as we have a 10 day forecast of rain looking me in the face.0

Apologies to team 1. I have been a proper fair weather rider this weekend. I chickened out on Friday going to work, couldn't face putting wet kit on. Yesterday I had a 21st Birthday party, although it was in an Italian Restaurant, and today has been the recovery.
Once again apologies.0 -

Nice riding Stu! I hauled my bike all about yesterday hoping for a break in the weather to no avail! I don't do thunderstorms... Not even for the Giro...0 -
Way to go Team 4! You guys came through in spades! Stu - You are an animal! :drinker: :drinker:0

They are just trying to lull us into complacency before kicking it in gear and kicking our butts. :laugh: :laugh:0 -
TBY, on the Google Doc logging sheet, what are the little blue numbers?0

On the GC Competition they're assistance for the Metrically challenged (distance in miles)
On the KoM Competition they're average Ascent/Km figures - an indication of how hilly the persons riding has been.0 -
I'll be posting the rest of yesterdays updates to the spreadsheet over the course of this morning.0
