Pretty sure you can sign up now but best to re-check a few days before the start. Just login, click your profile and make sure the 'World Tour' box is ticked:

By the way, @berty bassett. There's now an additional category in A:

@bridgy, will you be taking part? If not, maybe best if I got captain? Would be easier to co-ordinate.

Yeah I've ticked all the boxes Doesn't mean I'll ride but it at least gives the choice. Ridden outside today and will be doing more of that as and when the weather allows.

I'm hopeless - I said I'm not going to do it but pretty sure I will. All the stages.

Not sure which one looks most 'fun'? Possible candidates:
- 6 lengths of Bologna a day after the 3 tiny races
- France stage with 1700m of climbing (full Ventoux and a bit more) a day after Bologna
- Nearly 100k stage at the end
- ITT up the Aple

You'll enjoy the Bologna one
Tinies look fun, but even then they finish with an iTT - they do enjoy taking the piss don't they?

I probably won't be Peter, no - and absolutely it would be better if you were captain. Let me know if you need me to do anything to transfer the captaincy over or whatever

Cheers. I'll get in touch with Race Control and ask how to do it.

 

[Norry1]

That's some impressively consistent training load, @Norry1! Small wonder you're improving so well

Cheers. I have worked hard at being consistent, but also not overdoing it. My plan has been to do 2 hard weeks then one lesser week. So far I've managed to stick to it.

There's information on how to do it on the website: https://www.flammerougeracing.com/

I think it may be a good idea to open up a conversation - like the ones we have for ZRL, with all the info. Everything in one place for those interested and no hijacking of this thread. I'll set that up by end of tomorrow and add people that expressed interest.

Not clicking that, but I'm guessing it's a link to one of Sir Rick's finest?

I have genuinely thought about early morning rides as a way of squeezing them in. Unfortunately I’m my case the turbo would disturb the rest of the family. I’m quite looking forward to the new map though so I’ll look out for your feed back.
