Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

What a legend.

Looks much more enjoyable than the lake at the London cross race

So, is Kristoff on the gear or is he just 10% better than everyone else?

Srs. Only way I could survive the sleep deprivation as much as the epic miles. I like snoozing like a mad cat, so in the absence of being given a musette of gak at every CP modafinil would be the way forward...

Skinny (I assume that's James) vs Geoff could be tight if Geoff has to stop.

Hippy's climbed a couple of places, if he can pull back 40km he'll see himself well in the top 10

Hopefully there won't be any distracting kebab shops en route.

I was wondering that too.

Hopefully there won't be any distracting kebab shops en route.

That's like hoping hippy won't get distracted by any burger places riding RAAM.

Too late... https://twitter.com/firsthippy/status/762674198456233984

Geoff's had no proper sleep for 33 hours looking at his Speed vs Time plot graph, surely he can't survive until the end? skinny for 4th! He's only 3km behind Geoff...

Also, where's Emily #7 off to? She's done a great big circle and appears to be headed for Albania?

He is effectively a pro, and the rest are juggling day jobs.

The red line on the map is the compulsory course section near to the control. So it looks as though she has completed that loop and then rejoined her original route.

Awesome ride @neilp
You should be very proud. It's been fun to follow from the comfort of home (more often office)

Class picture of Emily tucking into two pizzas on her twitter feed.

Carlos rounds the corner and gets the tailwind, should be kicking back with an Efes and a kebab within a couple of hours.

an Efes and a kebab

I'm definitely having that tonight in solidarity.

Seriously inspiring stuff. Massive respect to all involved, scratched, finished or still pedalling. Epic efforts.

And that's a good tailwind - https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-338.20,41.13,1890

I'm definitely having that tonight in solidarity.

And have a strong tailwind tomorrow in solidarity too.

small lol

Both of you got me thirsty, now wondering where does one find Efes in London.

Green Lanes (and plenty of kebabs there too).
