Yep I'm up for joining in
I'm running a team for one of the other cycling forums and we won our category last year. We got some activity vouchers, I think it was about £350, that we gave to a London cycling charity so they could auction them or offer them as a prize in a fund raiser. The competition is usually pretty tough.
I'm sure it was for diplomatic reasons that you didn't mention which forum but I can't see why the two forums can't regard each other as cooperators rather then as competitors. As the group you're now running managed to win a prize for Wheels for Wellbeing last year any extra mileage contributed would help secure the prize for the 2nd year running.
Of course there may be deep-seated reasons for a split between the two forums but surely in this case it would simply be a case of cooperating for charity's sake. I can't see any harm in that.
From what I remember, the TfL rules say the challenge is open to cyclists who live, work or study in London - but of course that doesn't exclude miles cycled outside London.
I suggested the exact same thing- a united team- but it got shot down over there. We could win the whole thing with enough members...!

Well, i'm not involved with the "other forum" (why are people being coy? a quick google shows the team is Silly Commuter Racers from bike radar)so, does anyone here want to join a team?
Let's do this thing!

If you are interested, please join. If we get a quorum, I'll advertise it on a few other forums here.
So I resign from the non-existing cyclechat team and work to.help my employer beat scr.
