Professional Cycling For the Fans - Kenda/Versus Fantasy Cycling

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
If anyone's joined the Kenda Fantasy Cycling Challenge, add your team to the Bike Forums group so we can see who's best. For anyone who hasn't joined, it looks like you can join up until stage 5, when they start the actual scoring.

I joined the Performance fantasy league. Wish I was in the Kenda one. First day was pretty good. Got 1st,4th and 6th in the overall. Long way to go.
Join the Kenda one! They don't start scoring until stage 5!

I'm signing up now :) Thanks for telling me.
slightly off topic - Kenda to me recalls sturdy but utilitarian heavy tires from my childhood bikes - do they actually make decent bike tires?:backpedal:
Can you give me a web site where I can join?

Speaking as a mountain biker, I say most certainly, yes.
Back on topic, what's the point of Kenda asking you to enter a team name? In the standings I'm listed as Team [LAST NAME] instead of Team Magellan-Qdoba.

Too bad no prizes for the BF group on the Kenda fantasy challenge!
I think I've been in yellow for a week or so now!

Yes, but Kenda's top line tires are called Maxxis. Their cheap ones are actually not too bad either on a price comparison.
I would join the BF group but my team is in like 15,000th place and I quit playing when Valverde tanked.
Edit... sorry, Maxxis is made by Cheng-Shin, Kenda's top tires keep the Kenda label... http://www.kendausa.com/bicycle/bicycle.html

Well, I had a shot at 40th in the cumulative a few days back, but left the wrong rider on my bench. :(
I feel better though, now that I see my team is still ahead of the whole VS announcing crew except Hummer.
