TFL Cycle Challenge 2011

so when do we start?

ah ok Saturday ^ duh

lol

rubbish, DD19 is the day ***after ***this ends.

Did it last year, and yes L-B does count. Rack it up

I'm a first time poster on the site, ride a 1980s Raleigh Banana copy 48/16 Fixed.

Any chance I can get on the team? TFL request sent.

If anyone wants an entry into London to Brighton i can give mine away as cant do it now...

Starts today!

just logged yesterdays 27 miles and was pleased to see I apparently burned 1350 calories which gives me 5 cake credits, I think thats how it works. A game based on amassing cake credits, how great is that. After the ride to the stones on Monday night I may have to eat cake all week to restore the equilibrium.

Over the course of the challenge I may save some trees but I'm likely to be significantly fatter and I expect my 'emissions' to be off the chart, did they think this through??

I have just joined lfgss after lurking for ages, and also have joined the tfl cycle challenge. I have sent a request to join the lfgss team on the tfl site - I commute from Staines to Euston by bike most days, so will be adding 36 miles per day to the team, plus whatever else I do at the weekends - hopefully my request will be accepted !!!

There are some really big teams this year. The PoPo have already logged 2K miles, and it's only day 3.

bit slow on this one... can each person only join one team? so it's lfgss or work... hmm.

Assuming you only have one email and access to one compuer it is probably best to just have one account... (although I don't think it specifically says anything?)

Isn't being on one team sort of implied. Hence why it doesn't state it anywhere.

Come on guys log those miles, currently sitting in second but there's a long way to go yet!

One team per account, but does it say only one account per person?

don't worry, when people have posted their miles from last night the team will have pretty big jump!

Haha awesome

I've just stuck my miles in... We're currently third.

I've just re-sent my request to join the LFGSS team...

e2a - am in and have added my miles.

we need to be careful not to go over 50 members unless we can be sure of getting near 100.

can you evict people who aren't pulling their weight*, in favour of people who are putting in big miles?

(*e.g. me)

Yeah exactly, but we don't want to go over 100!

^^ we definitely need some people who do bigger mileages involved. I shall make suggestions to a few likely contenders...

I'd forgotten to log any, and I don't think I did any riding over the weekend, but I've just logged 139 miles in three trips for Monday :)

I do 20 miles a day on the commute and it's adding up... but Barclays are definitely cheating!
I'll have to make sure I increase the mileage on the Sunday morning ride.
