  • Lee Pearce on the climb to CP4. Looks gruelling.

  • Looks like a 2 hour time gap now for Skinny.

  • From now on I will take this picture with me on long rides so I look at it and when I start feeling sorry for myself.

  • Lee just about to arrive at Control 4. Looks like both Josh and @skinny will make it today too.

  • Lee Pearce has arrived.

  • There could be a few of them there soon as the other three ferry boys, including our fixed friend, are all converging.

  • Emily was 2 miles away from the leading team,
    but needed some food ,
    so stopped at a petrol station.

  • Some interesting routing from Lee Pearce, he seems to be heading the wrong way.

  • Just doing a little loop. After all it is already night there.

  • I assume it isn't possible within the rules to do Istanbul then vukovar?

  • Don't think so. My guess is that Lee is going North/NEN for the flatter terrain in Serbia to get to Vukovar.

  • Skinny transmitting again (there was a 45 min gap). He's near the base of the climb to CP4.

    3h10 behind Josh, and it took him 1h20 to do the climb.

    Josh left CP4 35 minutes ago.

  • Wooo...

  • Back to Kotor for Skinny, sleep in Kotor and do the climb in the early light after a rest rather than getting to the control at ~1am and then having another 13km to the suggested hotel? Dunno, it may just be a double back for a caffeine hit, will see in a bit.

  • Yep, Skinny's off towards CP4 now.

  • Still in Kotor, although looks like he's doing some extra sightseeing round the coast of the bay...

  • @skinny. Crisis is good. Silver medal. Go on.

  • Pedal, pedal pedal. You are nearly there!

  • Think now. Use your head.
    You probably nearly climbed Everest today. No wonder it is floppy ;-)

  • Oof..

    Keep on going @skinny!

  • The man is a total hero.

  • Whatever you choose to do @skinny, you've done superbly well as a debutant in this type of race. Stay strong.

  • This is his first attempt? Very impressed.

  • Chin up @skinny

    Too soon?

  • Skinny, you are doing an absolutely brilliant ride. Take your time with any decisions you have to make, you have a lot of support following your dot. Keep safe,
