Le Tour is almost upon us. For a bit of added excitement and inter-club competition we've set up a Fantasy Tour de France mini league for the club.

How does it work?
Each player takes the role of a Directeur Sportif of a professional cycling team. The aim of the contest is to select the best possible team of 9 riders, while operating within the conditions set on team selection. The better your racers perform during the 3 week event, the more points they will accumulate for your fantasy squad.

Rules/guidance here

How do I enter
We're making use of the established velogames.com to host our competition. You'll need to register with them and then enter a team.

How do enter my team into the Swan Wheelers league?
Once you have created a team go to your team page by logging-in with your username and password, and clicking on the My Team link towards the top-right of the screen.

At the bottom of the team roster page is the Mini-League manager and click on "Join or Create New League" to go to the League Entry page.

You will then be required to enter the Swan Wheelers league code which is 776247622 and confirm you want to join the league.

How much does this cost?
Nothing. Nowt. Zero. It's completely free. The site is funded by advertising so the price is having to endure some adverts.

What do I win?
There are no prizes, it's just for fun and bragging rights over your fellow club members!

When do I need to enter by?
You must enter your team by 2pm (our time, BST) on Saturday 1st July. So be quick!

Hopefully my Swish Swans will do better than the fantasy football team I did this year... :-(

I'm slightly embarrassed that the team that I picked mainly by luck managed to lead the competition from start to finish, however I can confirm that the "Swish Swans" will be competing again next year, albeit under the new team name of "Eat my dust, losers!"

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
