Cross continent racer.

Looks nice but you're not quite visible.... Don't hit a car man! Wear reflective parts.

Sugar.
You'd bonk massively before hand!

Hi Skinny,
i'll be trainning during June around France. I'm not at your trainning level, but riding together could be helpful / funny / whatever.
Pm if you want to do it!

Done.

800miles. 3ish days. 90000ft.

Massive respect, that it an incredible few days!

wow!

'long weekend' would be a suitabley droll name for the strava entry, had you started on a saturday. you should do it all again, but on the right days. for the internet points.

(looks immense)

That's some insane daily mileage!

Hero! Just amazing!

Actually rather inspiring. Brilliant stuff, well done!!

That is only double what I did on the weekend.

But you write much better then me. Looking forward to more.

Well done pal. Nice little read that was. Hope you can sort some sponsors, would be a shame for you not to be able to keep going at it.
Peace n love n good luck with future endeavours.

I wouldn't have made it out of Belgium :)

Good stuff. Have you planned your TCR route yet? I presume they've made the checkpoints/rules known already?

The beer in italy is pretty good too, plus pizza.

Yes I have. That's how I got to Italy. I rode the route I've planned. So geraardsbergen > Mt Ventoux > Sestriere (Col de assietta) > where my route goes in eastern italy. Don't see the need to check beyond there as there aren't many road options. Vukovar > Mont Lovcen > Istanbul.

And thanks to people generally.

Epic!

Great.

I like the bit about casually riding straight through Germany!

I really dig the spirit and acceptance things will be sent to test you.

Fantastic - great work and good write-up!

10/10 etc.

nice!

Shock and awe.

And Belgium was brutal.

Chuckled knowingly at this.

They sell a short sleeve version. Sigma sport have it. Fiandre light no rain. Pretty good.

Have a good race man

800 miles across the alps in 3 days! Feels like this deserves a thread of its own not just a small mention buried in cp. Immense stuff.

Thanks. But its small compared to what I'll need to do.
