The Wahooligan Tour STAGE 7: To Get To The Other Side workout on RGT Stelvio

[David]

Yeah, this sort of thing would be hard to miss

[Rupert]

Hi,

I am sorry for the experience on RGT today. Regarding achieving the badge, we have had some upload issues with the celebration video so we have put the 3min breathing more deeply video in there as an interim solution so you can complete the badge:

When the Tour window closes, we will do a recalculation of the challenge to ensure everyone receives their badge.

I can only apologize for this and would like to thank you for taking part in the tour this year and supporting the Davis Phinney Foundation.

“I don’t usually drink beer, but when I do …” I reach for this. And it’s waiting for me after tomorrow’s stage. We all need some type of motivation. This is mine.

@Jeffrey, you can post over here if you want to talk adult recovery beverages…

And EXC choice!

THE OFFICIAL 2023 ARBtWiT (formerly ARBToS)

Calling all Knights, Minions, aspirants, Couchlandrian ex-pats and assorted riders all! Yes, Tour time is almost upon us, so it’s never too early to start thinking and prepping for those all-important stage recoveries. I am, of course, referring to the (now) annual tradition - newly renamed - ADULT RECOVERY BEVERAGE OF THE WAHOOLIGAN TOUR (henceforth referred to as ARBtWiT)… For those just joining us this year, this is just a thread for discussing, sharing, and showing our…extracurricular Tour…

Thanks for all the updates, Sir @Rupert. Can’t have been fun being thrown out as the sacrificial lamb this past month.

Hopefully all this gets fixed. Looking forward to the 2024 Tour of Sufferlandria…in February of next year.

I enjoyed that bit of breathing

[RServranckx]

Thank you Coach Rupert!
For those who did the “shortened” RGT Stage 7 today (68 minutes), can we assume that this will be accounted for during the badge validation?
(FWIW, I did get the badge after running the three minute yoga/celebration session).

[Rupert]

Correct for RGT, you know you rode it so you have the badge!!!

[Glen.Coutts]

Thanks Sir @Rupert!

I knew it would get sorted eventually

In the meantime the badge minions can assign themselves to any available flogging station. #14 just opened up, coincidentally right after I finished Stage 6: The Road.

[Jeffrey]

Help! I’ve mentioned before I haven’t done RGT before. Tried signing up for the noon CET ride for Stage 7. Every time I hit the sign up button, nothing happens. It changes to Leave Now and nothing is asses to my schedule.

I’m not sure it’s the Minions I would be sending to the flogging stations, Sir @Glen.Coutts.

[RServranckx]

Scheduled RGT events do not show up in the SYSTM calendar at this time. If you signed up correctly, you should get a confirmation email.

[Glen.Coutts]

Fair, but I wasn’t sure if there’d be enough stations for The Company. Besides, the minions do love a good flogging

Well…that’s…another conversation entirely.

[Natasha.R]

What about all future scheduled RGT group rides for Stage 7? Will they work properly or will the same thing happen?

I’m leaning towards TGTTOS in SYSTM for stage 7a and then a solo up Stelvio for 7b.

Don’t know if they’ll get everything un-@ssed in time, @Natasha.R. But given what Sir @Rupert said, I’d go ahead and knock out the stage however you want and let them sort it out.

I plan to do the group ride (1700GMT, fwiw) tomorrow in RGT, just for giggles, with SYSTM running in the background. (Though due to timing issues, I’ll be riding 7b up the Stelvio FIRST, then turning back around to do the 7a TGTTOS after… )

[Glen.Coutts]

Sounds like my plan :). I just got a notice that they’ve turned Rubber Banding off on the RGT ride I signed up for so that should help a lot of people trapped in the vortex.

I still plan to run tgttos in SYSTM and run RGT concurrently cuz, I like the vid and Sir Standsalot is a gem!

[Glen.Coutts]

@CPT_A

Sounds like you’re gonna get to the other side before you get to the other side.

[Cheryl.Vasan]

I’ve never ridden To Get to the Other Side before. If I ride it on RGT, will it also end up marked as completed on the All Climbing and All the Sufferfest badges as well as the Tour badge? Will I need to file a ticket to get that to happen?

I’m absurdly motivated by badges so this will drive my decision between riding in RGT vs. SYSTM.

[Glen.Coutts]

@Cheryl.Vasan

I’d guess that’s a hard no. If you’ve never ridden it before, I’d HIGHLY recommend riding it in SYSTM. It’s a great workout and features an Oscar worthy performance from Sir Standsalot. That way, you’ll get the Suf badge and the tour badge.

Edit: I’ll add that I’d also highly recommend doing Stage 7b and just go for a slog up the Stelvio for bonus points.

Yeah, I’d agree. All the RGT rides I’ve done have popped up in my SYSTM calendar as - essentially - outside activities. I would not think it would trip the ride for badge purposes.
