Afternoon all
A quick question, if you don't mind giving a techno-idiot some help!
I received the email from Brian today and am now linked to the map :-) As I've done a challenge before, everything seems to already have been inputed, based on info from last time. Do I need to link my Garmin, or can I assume it's also still linked from last time?
Almost time to kick off - great to see familiar names on the mission page. I see Rowland's back :-)

Ignore me, I've just found the connection thingy and sure enough, I'm still connected from last time. Sorry folks.

I wondered the same thing, Alice. I haven't linked to Garmin or strava afresh and didn't see an option to do so. I'm assuming it's already linked at the My Virtual Mission level rather than at the level of an individual mission, but I'm not really sure.
