    I'm looking forward to this tour, as with all the rest of them.

    I'm actually riding from St. Cloud, Minnesota (USA) to Galena, Illinois (USA) starting on 8/15/2014. My first scheduled rest day is 8/23/2014 in La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA, but I'll try to get out and ride a little that day as this coincides with the start date for this tour. While there are no mountain climbs on this particular tour, there will be many hills, so you can expect more hill climbing than my normal 10Meter per 10KM of climb at the beginning of this tour.

    I'm supposed to conclude my tour on 9/2/2014, but may continue it anyway, so we'll see how all that goes.

    Looking forward to riding with everyone else....

    don't worry for the first day Tom... it's only 12.6km! In fact the tour is sort of book-ended by time-trials - the last stage is only 10.0km...

    To be honest Jason, you're a natural for the xx9 bib - even with all last challenges riding, you were still there reminding/pestering/encouraging the rest of the team along - which is what the "road captain" job is all about (and why I generally take the 309 myself - even if occasionally, by some misadventure or bad planning, I also end up doing the higher distance...)

    It's that competitive nature, I know this only too well :), must .... stick .... to .... plan!

    Btw I want your logo on a cycling Jersey, could prove useful lol, also quite like this one ....

    I'd wear that jersey but don't want to give any of the local idiot...err...drivers any ideas.

    I'll take my 305 if you'll have me.

    TBY Edit - Confirmed - it wouldn't be the same without you mate :-)

    <<<<added a logo I love here. DH made me a shirt. I now need the "Don't run me over jersey too"...that's a keeper!

    Please sign me up again. Loved the Le tour. I Team # 4 was awesome! but any number is ok. I'm likely to be a bit slow on the first weekend for travel, but hopefully can pull some mileage overall. :)

    Thanks.


    TBY Edit - Confirmed on 339 :-)

    I would like to ride this challenge. Since my number from TDF is taken already I would like 321.
    Thanks

    TBY Edit - Confirmed - and, to be honest, I was going to "suggest" you picked up the 3x1 spot on wherever team you chose to ride with ;-)

    I'm in! Same number (338) is fine. I plan on getting LOTS of riding done in the next 6 weeks as I'm training for Pedal The Cause the weekend following La Vuelta. :)

    Actually, it's to keep me OUT of the pub that I do this... :laugh:

    Great to see people getting onboard again - especially late in the season.

    I would love to join in!
    The second day 8/24 I move my daughter into
    College but I should have a decent showing otherwise for a
    Noob who's only been peddling for 2 months!
