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...

Can @icehurtz and @awmayhall also join this Strava club please:

Has everyone else joined Jas ? if not, I guess I'd better start kicking *kitten* and taking names...

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.0 -
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!)
@Dave2041
@ntnunk
@m1xm0d3
@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.1

I've forwarded instructions to them for retrieving their Strava URL's...They'll be posting them here as soon as they get computer / web access. I also asked them to read the new logging thread.

@TheBigYin Is there a ride log sheet coming? Should have checked the other thread duh! I found it.

OK in Strava there are two Twinkie Scoff teams. I am in the MFP-TwinkieScoff team and admin, now I find MFP_Team TwinkieScoffers of which I am not a member. The one I am in is the same one from last year and before. I guess I am confused.0

Okay i sent the invite from both of us! Let me know if that works or if theres anything else we need to do.
Me and him both still have to figure out how to get CycleMeter to import to our strava accounts. I will be taking care of that tonight.0 -

You are both in the Strava team so as long as you can import your ride data you are good to go for tomorrow!0 -

yes, but as per normal in the first couple of days, it's a "work in progress" - if you, or anyone finds anything wrong with it, give me a shout via PM, and i'll try and fix it.
It's a big cumbersome beastie, and takes a little bit of "management" to keep it all in check, so as many "eyes on" as possible helps get rid of the odd bug.

sorted - and details added to the appropriate spreadsheet - you'll be getting a couple of invites from the appropriate Strava Virtual Clubs as well.

I don't remember. How many team members have to log miles on a TT day?0
-
myself and @andrewmayhall loged 8.6 miles each this morning! We know that's not a lot, but at least a 17 mile contribution to our team
!
I still haven't found the link yet that is about how to log appropriately, I think @TDseest is sending that to me today. But we got our cyclemeter to automatically feed our ride info into Strava and MFP. And we made sure to accept all the invites on Strava, so hopefully that's all we gotta do. If not let me know!0 -

Every bit helps - and you both did a lot more than me!
You log your miles in this thread: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10384720/2016-mfp-giro-ditalia-challenge-logging-thread#latest from the data in your Strava ride. Just make sure your Strava account is switched to metric so distance and ascent is km and meters. All the Strava groups are just a fun/easy way to see how all the other riders are doing but the MPF logging thread is the official form and where the spreadsheet (appearing soon) data is derived from.0 -

That only applies on a TEAM TIME TRIAL day, the Giro this year has a couple of Individual Time Trials, but hasn't got a TTT. So, basically, as long as one rider gets the distance, the rest of the team could take the day off...
(TTT Days, completion is based on 5 or more finishers...)

Pretty Much Spot On, apart from one thing - joining the MFP Cycling Challenges group is not optional... We're looking towards being able to switch off the manual logging of rides for the TdF and Vuelta... BUT we pick up the ride details using a wonderful App written by Jason - @Jakess1971 - referred to as CycLeagues. This basically hoovers up the data from Strava in the MFP Cycling Challenges group, and does all sorts of clever things with it. But best of all, it also throws out a list of all the daily distances for each of the 3 grand tour challenges. I then hoover THAT file up, bung it into the spreadsheet, and present the same information god knows how many different ways...
Basically, the Strava Groups are there for the following reason...
MFP Cycling Challenges
https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFPCChallenge
The Data Source for all the automatic posting stuff.
MFP_GiroD'Italia_2016
https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP_Giro_Challenge
A single source group that I can browse through and use as my Strava "newsfeed" to ensure that the auto-posting stuff is picking up all the correct data. It basically allows me to filter out any other of my "friends" who aren't riding this challenge when I'm working on the spreadsheet.
MFP_Team Pastana - https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP_TeamPastana
MFP_LottaJumbos - https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP-LottaJumbos
MFP_Team TwinkieScoffers - https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP_TeamTwinkieScoffers
MFP_TeamPie - https://www.strava.com/clubs/MFP-TeamPie
These 4 are basically a "clubhouse" for each individual team - so you can use the "noticeboards" to post up any absences that team members may have - or discuss / arrange "team tactics" without the other teams getting to see
