They are calculated based on your overall place in the distance, speed and climbing categories. There are 36 racers so a 1st in any once place will net you 36 points while a 2nd would be 35 points and so on down. Thus a first in all 3 categories would give a max of 108 points.
At lest that is how I understand it.
Based on the last tour this means you can be no higher then 3rd or 4th place in any of the 3 categories but still winning the points jersey.
Again, perfect description... Thanks again.

Again, my apologies to Team Lotta Jumbos... but I'm honestly not sure how many rides I'm going to get in during Le Tour. My husband has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now for his heart condition, and there were hopes of him being able to go home on meds until a donor heart is available, but they can't keep him stable so he's going to have to have surgery
This means for at least 6 weeks I won't have much spare time to get a ride in :-/
So, if there is another eager beaver who's already been riding and willing to hop in my spot, cheers to him/her and go on with you! If not, I'll do my level best to try and get *some* miles on the board but I can't promise anything :-/

I am wishing you and your husband the best of luck and speedy recovery after that surgery!
Don't worry about the TdF challenge, you don't need another stress in your life.
TheBigYin - I am not sure how this works out - is this where one of the 2 alts is able to join? Or not as the challenge has already started?0 -
No way I'd have gone out in that weather if it wasn't for the challenge. That wet I got the winter bike out and for a few seconds considered my CX!!!0

Wow! I'm really sorry to hear that. That's got to be really stressful. I hope things go well.0 -
I really am reluctant to have to post this. I have only missed one day of riding in the last two challenges. I had to miss today. I have had a couple of patients go really south on me, one who passed away. The time and emotional drain was too much and I needed to take the day off and spend time with my wife and kids and get some rest. I promise I'll get back at it tomorrow. Sorry Team Pastana.0

Never mind about the silly cycling challenge, you concentrate on the important thing - being there for your husband. I know how much time is consumed when family are in hospital - it's all you can do to find time to eat/sleep yourself, never mind anything else.
Thanks for letting us know - and I'm sure I speak for everyone on all the teams when I say you and your husband are in our thoughts (and prayers, for those who do that thing)...
Stay Strong.

Once the challenge starts (i.e. the first ride has been booked into the submissions thread by anyone, there are no substitutions allowed - just like the real thing.

I'm thinking that today may well be that for me... not happy at all about it, but even if I only ride up and down the street far enough to get outside my "strava privacy zone" so there's a GPS track, I'm NOT failing today.

Understandable, and once again I say it "don't worry about the silly cycling challenge" - and if anyone should be apologising to Team Pastana it's me... I've been as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike this tour so far, and not shaping up to be any better today

I live in Montana. An ashtray would be useful on a motorcycle.

Team Pastana presses on. I think we are doing really good given the circumstances (injuries and weather). I appreciate each one of you, as it spurs me on.0

Life has a habit of getting in the way, sending you and yours some best wishes.0 -
Sorry for my lack of logging...hopefully will get caught up in the nex couple of days-not that I have big Kms to post or anything. Had unexcepted visitors show up at my house plus extra hours at work to juggle. Now to find time to start sorting out my gear for RAGBRAI.0

I'm gonna try to boost my mileage now that I have last night's race out of the way. Try to do my part to give Pastana a boost!0
