PTP - Announcement

edited May 2013 in Pro race
As you all know I took over PTP at the start of the year from Afx to keep it going. At the start of the year I was still at Uni and had a fair bit of free time to do PTP. But now I have finished Uni and have got my dream job working in F1 on a fantastic grad scheme. I start on the 24th June and unfortunately I won't have the time to be able to run PTP any more. I have already struggled a few times keeping up with it and realistically I won't be able to keep on top of it when I start.

So I will continue to run the Giro and also the Dauphine but after that I will sign off. I really hope someone is able to pick it up and continue running PTP as it will be a great shame for it to go. I have all the excel files and templates to get you going and I know changing mid season is a right pain in the ass but I don't really have a choice.

Thank you for understanding and I really hope someone will step up like I did and take it off.

Rozzer.

    Thanks for taking on the responsibility at the beginning of the year and spending the time on it that you have.
    More importantly, well done for getting your dream job in F1. I'm very jealous!
    Enjoy.

    Thanks for your efforts this year and well done on the new job. I can imagine it is a lot of work to run the PTP and, sadly, I cannot offer to take it on. Fingers crossed that someone will be able to.

    Thanks for what you've done Rozzer. I know it's hard work 'cos I do CW predictions! Good luck with your job.

    Many thanks Rozzer for stepping in so ably to afx's shoes, and huge congratulations on getting a job in F1. I'm afraid I can't volunteer my services either - busy life means I'd cock it up, and dodgy morals mean I'd be very tempted to cheat as well. Good luck to whoever takes on the challenge... perhaps someone at Bike Radar Towers can run it?

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Would it be possible to do split the duties? I don't mind doing a race or two, but couldn't do the whole season.

    Rozzer, if you can do the next couple of races, I'll take over from the TDF on.

    Cheers guys.

    TailWindHome - I go away on the 8th June for a weeks holiday to Spain with the bike (just to make you all more jealous) so realistically the last race I can do is the Dauphine. Maybe Afx could do the Tour de Swisse just for that 1 race and then you could take over? Might be worth sending him a PM.

    Lets make it easier.

    You do the Dolphins

    We'll drop out the Swiss

    I'll start from the TDF on.


    I'd start sooner but I've just started a new job and need a couple of weeks to get stuff sorted...

    If anyone disagrees they can volunteer :wink:

    Up to you guys, but one option would be to only work out the scores for Tour de Swisse at a later date. It only needs a thread started before then.

    Hmmm. I wouldn't fancy trawling through a 30 odd page thread to back fill.

    Not got involved in PTP, but well done on the job in F1 Rozzer. Hope for your sake it means you don't need to move to MK!

    I am on gardening leave and not cycling at the mo due to a crash so have some time on my hands. Hoping that both of these will be rectified soon but will be able to step in for the Tour de Suisse if it's easy enough to pick up and run for 8 days, as still have time with family and interviews to attend.

    Congrats on the job Rozzer.

    Looking at Google spreadsheets it seems pretty easy to set up, so I can add up the scores for Tour de Swisse for you. You'd just need to copy them into the master season long one at some point.

    I have an excel template that you can use for each race. It already has everyone's name in it so you just need to add the picks.

    So we agreed that mr_poll will pick up for the Tour de Swisse and then TailWindHome will run it after that? That OK with you guys? Thanks for stepping up by the way.

    PTP rides on! Thanks Rozzer, and thanks to the guys taking it forward.
    Sounds a bit sad, but PTP in the mornings brightens up my humdrum existence.

    Congratulations Rozzer, thank you! And good luck with the new job, sounds amazing. Can you expect contributions to the Cycling/F1 thread?

    Thanks also TWH and TBB carrying PTP on... much appreciated!

    Enjoy your hol and new job.

    Mr-Poll, I propose we split Rozzers points to date 70:30 in my favour :wink:
