    I asked to join on the prior thread, but it looks as though I may have missed the cut.
    The Giro was fun and if there is room I'd like to do it again. Sorry if I didn't request properly first time around.
    I think I was 339 Giro....but I'm not hung up on retaining the same #. Whatever is easiest.

    TBY - More simple explanation than that - I just missed your post. I'll drop you in on #321

    Where's our Road Captain (#301)?

    If no bugger else will do it, I suppose on the Giro Distances Showing I Aught to swap to "Team Leader" (301) from "road captain" (309)

    (though I'm less "Kilburn" and more "Kilburn and the High Roads" when it comes to wearing the captains number)

    Are we still racing under the 'Team FDS' banner?

    If so, we'll have to have a bit of a reshuffle & 'kick out' those who chose NOT to be in Team #1 this year (not mentioning any names) :grumble:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Happy to be riding on a team in July. I will need some kind of incentive like this to keep me riding in the heat.

    TBY - Glad to have you onboard again Tom - wouldn't be the same without you... Just don't overdo it in those temperatures mate :smile:

    I'm back :) Thanks for sorting me out TBY

    No worries - glad to see everyone's getting into this... now if we could only fill the last two places...

    :grumble: Strange really - I thought that launching a week early, I'd end up filling the rosta, and then spend the last week trying to avoid adding another team... and here we are, 4 days in, and still can't fill the initial 4 teams. :ohwell:

    I think these will be filed later today, Coltsman4ever is now in, henryda04 who's been on the monthly challenge and adding himself on Strava has asked me to add his name in, I've directed him to this thread, gave Riot a nudge too being a big hitter on the Giro and might not have twigged this yet. Quick quick grab a place!!!

    Okay - quick additons / alterations then

    Team #1 - I'm going to swap Harksy from #304 to team captain on #301

    #304 can go to Coltsman4ever

    and our final slot of #332 goes to henryda04

    so - hopefully that's it for the signup process...

    If however, anyone either comes down with a mystery virus or real life intrudes in some way as to make riding impossible, PLEASE let me know before the Rollout in Leeds on the 5th July, as no substitutions will be made after this point.

    And, if anyone wishes to register interest in being a sub, again, feel free to let me know via PM and i'll add you to a section in the initial post. No promises of a ride sadly, this whole signup thing has been on the go since the end of the Giro in early June, but if you DO end up filling a gap in a team, I'm sure your distances will be deeply appreciated.

    NO PRESSURE TBY!!!!
    Early apologies then from me I will be off the bike for 3 days 1st week - on hols in Dublin (May try rent a Dublin bike although riding in the city centre doesn't really appeal to me))
    promise to add the extra miles in Before & After

    Go TEAM #! :glasses:

    Well, it was either you or me Alan... I'll swap with you, if it's a problem - it's just i'm still not 100% fit (back's gone again!) so I thought you were a better option - but, hell - if this was for real, i'd cheerfully ride domestique-de-luxe for you...

    Cool! I'm glad we are all set. So all four teams remember, this is our pathway to fame, fortune and glory! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: OK, maybe just our pathway to a lot of fun. So ride hard, stay safe and may team number 1 win. :drinker: :drinker: :laugh: :laugh:

    For those of you who do not share my same warped sense of humor, that was a joke and I'm looking forward to the banter from the other teams. :laugh: :laugh: :wink: :wink:

    TBY - Once again, thanks for hosting this and be assured that we do appreciate all the frustration you go through to make this happen. Cheers! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
