So - to signup, quote this post, add your name by the side of the number you want - remember - the X01 number is traditionally the team leader, i.e. if you're picking this one, you're saying "I'm Charlie Big Potatoes and I'm going to win...", and the X09 number is the "grizzled old road-captain who marshalls the team on behalf of X01 - Think "Jensie / Cancellara"

If things fill up completely, keep registering interest, and if there's room for a fourth team I may add one in. Plus, there's one or two spaces that have been pre-registered on behalf of others, who may choose not to take up the slot - or we could have the occasional drop-out before the start. I launched this a week beforehand to try and get a head start on the spreadsheets and so on behind the scenes, plus last couple of years we've taken over a week to fill the rosta's...0 -

Don't know how grizzled I am, but 329 has some special significance to me (my birthday) so I will take it if it is still open. Thanks TBY! Enjoy a pint for me.0 -
I'm metrically challenged. But Can I join a team?
of course, as long as you're recording on either Strava or Garmin Connect, they'll work fine in metric units.
My strava account is Midori Raymore - in Colorado. I think I'm going to be on Team 3 and I don't have a number preference. 0 -

I better restate that before you put me in # 1 - I can't be team captain - I'm on vacation the last half of May. How about 328?0 -

Well I think 326 is still open....if so I'll take it....
if not...maybe next time.0 -
I seem to be unable to tell what is taken and what isn't. MrsCCC and I would like to join though.
If 328 and 329 are available we could take them.0 -
If there is still a spot open I like to give it a try if you have me...0

Okay, after a quick read through this morning, we've got a third team...
Seeing as some of you seem to have been unable to actually pick a number and declare - I'm going to fit everyone in and issue you with numbers myself...

I think from here, we'll just take names - if we get another 9 names (over and above any we need if the pre-registrations decide not to ride) then I'll run a fourth team...
Have to say, the response so far has been pretty overwhelming folks... makes all the pre-planning of these worthwhile.0 -
Hey Big Yin,
I can't ride this week. I have an FTP test coming up. However, if you have a drop out I would love to be an alternate. My test is on Friday so anytime after that I'm good to go.

Giro doesn't actually start 'till friday anyway, and first stage is a minimal distance - team time trial, so you'd be fine after the FTP test :-)0 -
Sorry, just learning of this now. If you get a 4th going, I'll join.

Cool. Put me in if you get another team going or if you need an alternate. Just curious about my Strava user name. I only knew it as Dean Aldrich but I see other people with URL sites. Where did they get that from?0 -
its the url at the top of your profile page... http://www.strava.com/athletes/3106353 in your case 0
