Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

@skinny - amazing work

how long until all of team lfgss are over the line?

Epic @skinny, epic. Well done!

muchos kudos @skinny

Well done @skinny, awesome ride!

Yesterday I went to the organic store on Green lanes to buy some sourdough. Discovered they'd sold out so had to go to the organic coffee shop a few doors down.

I miss those days where people used to fight buses.

It was all getting mugged on the walk home from the pub and running daylight gang battles holding the buses up when I were a lad.

No update on Geoff? Hope all is ok.

Edit: Am reading that it is an apparent mechanical.

Emily Chappell is taking an interesting route. She's the only person so far to go into Albania, everyone else crossed the border between Montenegro and Kosovo. Guessing she's planning to hook round into Greece and follow its northern border.

Maybe the coastal winds have subsided now.

Congrats @skinny in total awe of all these guys and girls.

From twitter:

4th to 139th and back!

Just read all of @hippy 's tweets for the past four or five days. Bloody hell.

Congratulations @skinny! Very ballsy ride.

Amazing ride @skinny. To come back like that. Congratulations !

Now its Foxtons marketing it as "edgy" and "vibrant"

PS well done @carlos and @neilp!

His feed is a very honest and "real" feeling account of what I'd imagine it feels like (in reply to @WornCleat )

His tyre exploded apparently, so he took a long night and then has to walk 20km to the nearest town to find a new one.
That sucks so hard. I was really hoping to see a show down between him and Skinny, so to have a mechanical that close to the end of the race must be heartbreaking. Especially as there is a veritable gang bearing down on him, so he might not even take 5th.

Ouch, that must be gutting :/

Up and coming

Ultan should have given him a croggy.

4th at CP1 was almost certainly influenced by the chest infection. If @skinny had not been ill, I suspect that he would have been leading or in second place at that stage.

Geoffroy is on the move again!

And he's not walking ...

Chase is on for 6th place between Coyle, Trees and Dussault ... ~80km to go. It will come down to a fight at the ferry port cash machine.
