too long didnt ride? ;

Joe (@bananaskid) is nearly here! Well done mate. Nice to meet you at the start.

He'll be under 14days and make the party with time to rest! Respect.

Well done @bananaskid!

Woo! So do we have a full list of forummers who were racing?

Stephanie?

"it came to an end after only 2000 miles"

When I see him I'm going to hurt him.

I think Joseph Todd is a finish now. Correct me if I'm wrong but he seems 'well like done'.

Cheers guys finished now! Pretty fucking happy!

Just over 14 days.

#89 time for 69. Makes finishers party. Stupid shit ensues. Epic.

@bananaskid - Awesome stuff dude! Have a fuckin' kebab!

That smile!

No bivvy, planning to sleep in bus stops and hedges.

And a bed!

Chapeau, sir.

Dare I say it but you look fresh at the finish whereas everyone else looks broken.

Yeah! Far too happy. Go back and ride it again!
Amazing work.

@banana_skid Oh boy

Cheers everyone!

I must admit I probably should I have brought a bivvy. The wind would just take away my heat meaning I would spend ages trying to find a warm shelter (banks, train statins , 24/7 McDonalds, airports etc). So when I got past Italy I basically hoteled it every night for 20 odd euros which meant 6 hours of sleep every night.

Absolutely brilliant. Love how you look so happy in the picture. The other finishers looked near death.

Congrats!

Sounds like a nice relaxing adventure. :) You think you'd have pushed on more if you'd had the bivvy then?

@rhb I think perhaps but hotels really refresh you and give you some stress free rest with wifi (had no 3G so was quite an issue for me), power and guaranteed breakfast

Leo Tong's Instragram is worth a look and a follow.

I think i'd be taking that approach.

Great writeups and pics, even the blurry ones. Keep at it Leo!

Tour de gelato sounds like a win

@bananaskid @skinny Enjoy the party gents - amazing achievement
