I'd like to join if there is enough for a 4th team. I ride pretty regularly...keep everything on GarminConnect but trying out Strava this month.

I'm kinda old, not too grizzled, but 339 matches my Strava # so I'll take that. Or if a spot opens up on another team just throw me in anywhere. Haven't been able to upload much this week...need to get laptop/connection issues resolved before next weekend.
Now I'm going out to rideOkay, I THINK we may have enough interest to get a fourth Team together - anyone who's registered interest in the 4th team, here's where you sign up.

OK Dr Gummibear is in the house and 336 looks like it was left open for me. I don't have quite enough gumption to be the head guy. Looking forward to getting my Strava account set up and I'll repost with the proper identification numbers for reference soon. Cheers!

Filling in Strava info.0 -
Is there room or interest for a fifth team? If so, I want dibs on 343.0

Much as I hate to disappoint anyone, unless we get a full rosta for a 5th team, I'm afraid you're "first substitute" in case someone drops out mate...
That being said - we DO usually get 3-4 people either spitting their dummies out because they can't handle logging things in metric measurements (I know... because it's SO difficult to change the strava units to metric for 3 weeks!), or because they're just mentally incapable of completing the "logging form" I provide in the required format. (yes, seriously... They get a form and can't fill in the blanks, and instead try to do something "better" (read easier for them) and make things more difficult for the organiser)
So - even if you're not on a team at the start, log your rides, because I generally manage to throw at least 2-3 people out of the challenge by the first week... so you may get "drafted in"
I put a lot of effort into these challenges, and I'm a bit OCD, and (at the moment) I'm a little worried that I'm actually fit enough to complete the challenge myself, so I'm even more of a grumpy-bar steward than normal.0 -

3 teams? Awesome!
That is going to keep everyone 'honest' isn't it? I can't see many people having CBA days!? :laugh:0 -

I think one or two reserves will definitely be needed for super subs, I've seen a couple of people on that list that have mentioned new injuries before we even get started0 -
I'm one of those "walking wounded" myself to be honest. Though, in fairness, it's not walking I have a problem with, just sitting on the saddle...0

Not a nice injury, had it myself and put me out of action for a good week! I remember Mark Beaumont riding with Saddle sores during his round the world ride, the guy was in agony with them, he did claim that the pain would be awful for the first two hrs of each long days ride but after a while it would just shut off .... not too bad then! lol0 -
