Sounds like #77 might be oversubscribed already!
It's the race time that really counts me out, I am down at the stables between 17:00 and 19:00 (or even later now that She has acquired another horse!!!), so getting back to take part in a league would be hit or miss for me.
Otherwise, yes, I'm interested ... even though I am a lowly (fat) D rider now
I wonder if we could convince @Aleman and @Marino.g to get involved too? What do you think chaps? That would put us as a squad of 7 and we really only need 4/5 per week minimum (but obviously 6 would be nice).
I would be happy to do the admin and squad chasing / selection duties for the C team - @steverob could be DS...
And for @Spartak we could have a poll for our team name
I might be able to drag a mate in as well when we are short, I think he's racing in Cat C atm. Oh, and @Whorty!!!!!
Thought's C riders?
Yep. Back in CC for next season. Was just finalising payment terms this morning just so happens. So as long as they hold up all good!! 👍🏼 Although I may be a C by then as haven’t raced for a while and feeling better for it. Think I was racing too much, been on a TR training plan and liking it. But as @Norry said no reason not to do both!I reckon we have 15 riders racing the current series, so to get to 18 for three teams next season could be possible?
Assuming all the current riders would continue next season it could look something like this:
#23 - no change
#68
@mjd1988
@bobinski
@BurningLegs
@Ketty
@Del C - this league is one down from your current Derek. Would you fancy coming over?
+1...
#77
@Joffey
@Spartak
@Whorty
@JLaw
@steverob
+1...
So there are at least two slots, possibly three. Perhaps more if Derek has other plans for Jan.
Not sure what Brendans plans are for next season? Or his exact username to tag.... edit: @Brendan Parker - couldn't have been easier really could it
It might work out, but would probably end up with #68 and #77 racing as a five some weeks when people have other commitments or knee problems.
Registration for new teams is open now...
Absence makes the heart grow stronger hey! 😂I am sure Brendans itching to ride with me so lets counting him in
Del,
Come on in mate-the water is LOVELY!
To be fair, I think 7-8 is the right number of riders for a squad. There's always weeks where someone can't make it, or wants to take a week off because they've done all the races so far and wants to give someone else a turn, or the course doesn't suit them. Plus as we've found out these past few weeks, you've got to come to the line with at least 6 riders cause there's a guarantee that someone's trainer / ANT+ / internet / iPad / whatever is going to go down and you don't want to be left short handed!Sounds like #77 might be oversubscribed already!
If we do ever get enough for a 3rd team then we need to give it a number that falls BETWEEN 23 and 68, just to really confuse our opponents!Or, as we may call it, #1
We'll see. People will be going back into offices in the new year no doubt so we might just have enough for the 2 teams and us C's just helping out when needed in the #68 as we are doing now
I know, I even asked "Just how many horses can you ride at the same time?" ... and "Where are you going to put it?"H+1 isn't the greatest of equations!
Can I join?!I wonder if we could convince @Aleman and @Marino.g to get involved too? What do you think chaps? That would put us as a squad of 7 and we really only need 4/5 per week minimum (but obviously 6 would be nice).
