Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

On the home straight now ... #gohippy!!

Driving directions give 125km from his current spot between Esetce and Kesan. Yesterday Coyle did the same trek in a little over 5 hours, the tailwind increasing his speed from 20kph to 30-40kph as he turned SW. So, by this reckoning, Hippy should be hitting the ferry around 20:45 (BST), 22:45 local. Porreca is about 30km behind Hippy and looks to have been pretty efficient with his ride given the time/speed plots.

He is stopping at every petrol station !?!

Eating all the kebabs.

Dodgy souvlaki. Can't be pleasant when combined with the state of his nethers.

Go hippy!

Just hope we don't get before and after pictures of his nethers. In fact, no pictures of his nethers would be just peachy.

In fact, pictures of his peachy nethers would be just lovely.

Steady on, Clive.

Rider No. 142, Peachy Nethers aka "Hippy" aka "Midget Fucker"

Hippy must be getting better, he's now only stopping at the petrol stations on the same side of the road that he's riding on.

Go nethers!

What a nice bloke.

'Peachy Nethers' is good. Who needs Pisti when we have Clive?

30km ...

Now the only burning question is whether the ferry will be able to take hippy or just unceremoniously sink.

Inside the last 10 kms now.

G'wan @hippy

Better get those beers lined up @skinny

And the phone number for John Wayne Bobbit's plastic surgeon.
#goochcare

Yay, he'll be finished in time to see GB beat Aus on the track!

Clean cut? Yes
Stump-ground over 11 days? Hmmm, naaaaa...

Coming into Eceabat now ...

Just missed the half past ferry :/

He can have a beer whilst he waits for the next one then.

Must be on the ferry waiting to depart!

Either that or he's taking his bike into the water again, a la London-Paris.

Well done @hippy!!

Huge congratulations @hippy it's been amazing following you, your calorie intake and your minced genitals for 4000km!

Hope he has a beer and a comfortable seat ... chapeau young lad, stupendous ride.
