    OKAY GUYS - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - TDF SIGNUPS ARE NOW OPEN

    GET YOUR NAME DOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PLEASE - WE'RE LOOKING TO GET THE WHOLE TOUR COMPLETELY AUTOMATED WITH RESPECT TO LOGGING, AND IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE WORK BEHIND THE SCENES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE NOT CURRENTLY A MEMBER ON JASON'S FABULOUS CYCLEAGUES WEBSITE.

    I'll start.

    I'd like to join and as a new rider I'm likely going to hit 100 km per week.

    I'm in, I had planned on doing 100 miles a day for 10 days during this but having got this in already last week the mileage will be a little more sensible, but so you can plan the teams here is my plan:

    Imperials+ will be saved for days off (I have three day weekends during this tour with Fridays off) and may well be getting in the odd metric during the week BUT I will not be riding every day of the tour so the mileage will be high but not the same as last year in the interest of good training but not relentless to avoid injury etc, additional rest days are likely to be Thursday.

    Sign me up, please! Sign up the husband as well (BamaBoyScout aka Andrew Baldes), please.

    I will probably not be hitting my goal of 100km per week, alas, but I'll try my best to get close!

    Husband is currently working on a minor injury but we expect him to be back to normal crazy miles before the Tour starts.

    That's cool Jas, If it's okay, I'm going to move you over to Team Lotta Jumbo to help balance things up - swap you for one of the no-show's that they had, and the balance of things should improve a bit...

    Cool - as a new rider, we'll need your Strava Athlete URL, and if you're not already a member of the CycLeagues app, you'll need to sign up there - drop the Strava URL in here, and we'll take it from there...

    that's 9 and a possible so far - one team completed (no, I'm not just filling up the slots first-come, first served, in case anyone asks! - it'll be much the same as the Giro, apart from one (or maybe 2) transfers out of Pastana towards Lotto Jumbo - assuming much the same members sign up - if we get lots of newcomers, then it might get a trifle messy...)

    I'm in. No clue on KMs per week with work. I should have RAGBRAI the last week of July if I can get myself to care about this route!

    Cool - expect a couple of "club" invites to arrive on Strava...

    Jason @Jakess1971 - can you take care of the CycLeagues Stuff ??

    Count me in please.

    Finally have my road bike back and working so looking forward to putting in the miles. 3 weeks without a bike was a nightmare :(

    After taking the Giro off, I'm ready to roll! Put me wherever you need to Mark. Not willing to commit to any mileage targets, just riding.

    Please sign me up as well. Again going to aim for 500km for the whole TdF - Less than that if work gets/stays crazy - more if I get lucky.
