I'm in if there's a spot left - after the past few months with the spouse in the hospital, and then losing him last month, I need something to get me back out on the bike to try and regain some sanity and perspective.0

If you need someone to fill out a team I would like to join.
Unfortunately my mileage (kilometerage?) will be very low this time around as due to family vising from out of the country and a 5 day on the water photo shoot my first free day to start biking will be Aug 30th!0 -
You can count me in if there is a spot :-)0

yes I'd like to ride too!0

No problem - can't guarantee what team she's likely to be on, but there's a place reserved for her.
Not a problem at all. May even be best if she's on a different team since it may motivate her to ride more and help her team beat my team.
But either way. Same team, different team, it's all good. We're both just excited to be riding.

Keep them coming folks - that's 9 places remaining, and just under a week left before the roll-out. I'd like to get the teams finalised ASAP now folks - as there's a whole bunch of Dossards to create, and I still don't seem to have the routes to be able to create the Ascent targets.

Hiya Mark, declaring myself out of this one as well - moving house just at the start of the Vuelta and the new house is nearer to work, so it's only just over a 2 mile journey now so even if I only do commuter miles it's a bit rubbish these days. Will be a busy few weeks sorting out the new home, but I'm hoping to do them all in 2016. Hoping to get more weekend rides in when we both live in the same house and have our bikes together all the time
Buen suerte a todos!!0 -

No worries Fran, and all the best with the move - and with all the packing that you're no doubt currently engaged in...

Thanks Mark - luckily as not sold my gaff yet we can move gradually but yes I have started the slow and painful process of packing everything up! How can one terraced house have so much stuff in it?!0 -
Count me in if spaces are free0

Fine, I'll need you're Strava Athlete Name and Athlete URL before I can sign you up though...
or - if you can confirm that https://www.strava.com/athletes/4805854 is you, I can get straight onto it...

That's all we are doing this year is 12 stages right? Didn't I hear they were going to cut it short so we could get ready for Octoberfest? :laugh:0

no, it's simply that 4 maps at a time Is about all I can stand to work through - the Vuelta has such convoluted routes with loops and "finishing circuits" and they're a PITA to sort the maps for. So, In an effort to not put my fist through my very expensive monitor in frustration, I restrict myself to 4 maps in any one session.
