    Now, before anyone starts complaining that I've got their flags wrong... chances are I've given you a "generic american" dossard because I didn't know your strava details... I generally work on the location that the rides are being done - unless I happen to know from prior challenges that someone is living overseas... If it's wrong, give me a shout and I'll try and get a new one done for you, though it MAY not be before the start of the challenge - i've quite a lot of other stuff to do!

    Are we supposed to join the individual teams that are on Strava like last year? I unjoined Lotto, the Vuelta team from last year and requested to join Twinkie for Giro.

    okay, that's just the final two riders @icehurtz and @awmayhall that I need Strava URL's for... Tom @TDSeest - aren't they your mates, don't suppose you already "follow" them on Strava and could possibly PM me their rider URL's...

    I believe so, bsexton3 joined and I authorised this morning, once the others @icehurtz and @awmayhall are in I'll add them into CycLeagues too so should then be reflected in any teams once finalised.

    please check that you're a member of the following clubs on Strava.

    All Riders...

    https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP_Giro_Challenge

    This is the actual Giro Challenge Group - membership restricted to only riders actually participating in this years Giro Challenge.





    All Riders...

    https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFPCChallenge

    This is the General "Cycling Challenges" Group - it is ESSENTIAL that you belong to this group, because it's the location where your ride data will be picked up for verification - and also, at some point during the Giro, hopefully to automate the whole logging process, and save me re-keying everything that everyone rides... So, if you don't join this group, there's a good chance your rides won't get counted.


    Team Pastana Riders.

    https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP_TeamPastana

    The Following persons should Join this Group, if they're not already a member... As I'm an Admin in this group, i've sent invites to most of the people already (in fact, I've probably invited some of them that are already a member, but that'e because i'm a bit of a berk!)

    @ruthbardell
    @Jakes1971
    @BigG59
    @sufferlandrian
    @TDSeest
    @TheBigYin


    Team Pie ProCycling Riders

    Same kind of deal with the riders for team Pie... I can't handle invites in this or the other 2 cases, as I can't be a mamber of a team i'm not riding for... If you're an admin in there, sort out the invites, and if you're not, make someone else an admin before you leave the group - in fact, try and ensure that there are at least 4 admins out of the 9 riders - that way if there's a major re-shuffle in the teams, there's still a chance of there being someone who's got the "controlls" still a member... It also falls to one of the admins to remove anyone who's not on the team rosta. Sorry - I can't do all the tidying up for you lot, theres the odd thing you DO need to do yourselves ;)

    Thank you Mark @TheBigYin for the clear instructions or I would totally miss what I still need to do. I have just requested to join (i) the actual Giro Challenge Group and (ii) Team Twinkie Scoff. I think I am already a member in MFPCChallenge.

    Hi to Team pie, strava is giving me grief an unable to invite you to join the team. Please send a request through and I will approve it. Also nominate if you would like admin privileges. Happy riding
