not quite enough for a second team
time to start "telling your friends" (read nagging the living daylights out of everyone!)
Oh - and I'll be trying to allocate "team numbers" as close as possible to what we rode last year, just to try and cut down on my hours in photoshop creating the dossards... I've added the details I think are correct... but obviously, this was based on 4 teams, and we've barely enough riders for 2 at the moment, so anyone without a 30x or 31x number is liable to change...

Sign me up. I've been 313 and 305 before for other tours but I don't think I've done the Giro.
I've just joined Strava yesterday. I *think* I have it set up to sync with my Garmin, but we shall see later today.

I won't be good for much climbing since I'll be at the beach for a week during the Giro and, well, I'm not a climber anyhow, but I hope to ride most days. I'm just coming back from illness.
New profile photo is at the end of my ride to Paris on Sunday (Paris, Arkansas...).0 -
I still have this one from a few years ago...0 -
you can count me in. Still recovering from crash and surgery but I will give it a shot.

Well, looks like I have to ride now...and that's OK. Just warning the team, I will not be riding at all from 5/29-5/31 though, the bike doesn't fit in/on the car we're taking on vacation. See y'all on the road!0 -
Count me in...https://www.strava.com/athletes/1319723.0

Please add me in as well.....https://www.strava.com/athletes/49986320

I borrowed Veloman21's post and used it to post in some other group challenges I have going on. Oh - I just remember one more place I can post it. We'll see if anyone bites. I had an awesome commute this morning so I'm really looking forward to this. I really have my fingers crossed for good weather in May. Maybe I should be crossing toes too.0
-
Please add Rosie (MrsCCC) and I to the challenge as well.0

I wasn't going to sign up for this tour due to work/family obligations this month, but if you need another rider to fill a team..I'd be pleased to join:)0

Any rides count Phytogurl and I know you ride, you ride much more than me sometimes. I love looking at your Strava maps. I always think "that looks so fun!"

I just had to say - LOL on sitting out to focus on the Tour0 -
Sign me up please! I need to make up for not getting in a *single* ride during the Spring Classics!
*I really really apologize for not participating in the Spring Classics after I said I would - I PROMISE to ride for the team in the Grand Tours!*0 -
I'd like to sign up, please send me a message if I have to do anything special. I already log to Strava.

I am on the fence. I do not ride everyday due to health reasons. But when I do ride I can put up some numbers of some kind. if that means a team would have to carry me, then I will probably just watch from the sidelines.0

Thanks Verde:) I ride, but i don't cover a lot of distance in the dirt. One of these days I'll get a road bike and be able to keep up with you and the rest!

I am recovering from an overuse injury. I may start slow but I'll finish strong. I work 62 hour shifts on the weekends what ever time I get on, expect me to log big miles during the week and I'll get what I can on the weekends.0

I'll ride more on weekends once the semester ends (9 days) and when traveling in May/June we can ride longer on weekends than on weekdays. It'll all work out somehow.0
