MapMyRide Aquaphor le Tour Challenge 2011

2011 Aquaphor Le Tour Challenge - done
An online challenge hosted by MapMyRide where participants upload workouts logged on their GPS devices in a virtual race against other competitors, and to compare with the riders of the real Tour de France. A virtual stage time is calculated based on (not fully disclosed) criteria, so that you don't have to ride the whole distance, and climb the ascent of the real stage.

Each (almost) night of the tour, I watched the (excellent SBS coverage of the) race until around mid-night, and then recorded the remaining 2 or so hours. Then I would get up early in the morning and ride my bike on the wind trainer, while watching the remainder of the stage. This worked out pretty well as I had in injury which restricted my running and swimming, so I did a lot of bike.
