Transcontinental Race No. 5 - TCR5 - #TCRN05 - 2017

Has anyone ridden every edition of the TCR?

Someone mentioned a Finnish guy, possibly Mikko Makipaa, had started and completed every one so far.

@skinny is a bad man. This edition has been (and continues to be) great to dot watch. Respect to all taking part.

Gavin peacock and jo scratched.

Sound's like hippy survived his night on the mountain, just.

Does anyone know how many people are participating on fixed gears and how they are doing? wasnt able to follow the race this year unfortunately:(

Boo,I enjoy Gavin on Instagram

I believe Cesare Pedrini (136) is. Some amusing videos were linked to of him going down hill without chain many pages back. I think they were on his or one of the other riders Instagram.

Kebab gate ! I doubt they will eat another without thinking of the lebanese shop owner . Plus they have been riding for cancer research .

already said on fb but YES @skinny !! so awesome

Looks like bjorn about to finish . Inless his tracker has stopped

He finished a couple of hours ago according to frrt

Ok ta . Waiting on 3rd place arroval now . Any news on emily ?

Any news on emily ?

Emily scratched a couple of days ago, exhausted.

Wonderful ride @skinny, that's an incredible feat of endurance.
I've been really enjoying following this thread for the last 9 days. Top text entertainment.

Shame about Emily.

Chapeau Björn and huge congrats to James!

Jonas less than 60kmto go :)

@modan not showing on the main map for me. Can see him on individual history. Somewhere north of Treviso near the river Piave

It says on his full history page he's scratched :(

Apparently rider 235 has been struck by lightning.

But he's back on the bike and continuing.

This race is mad.

^ it's the people not the race :)

Ian To's Facebook page is now pointedly calling his effort "his Transcontinental Tour".

I hope the riders who were behind him in Romania weren't too inconvenienced by having to avoid the toys that had been thrown out of the pram.

It's not the first time he's out trying to rewrite history so its suits him.

Just been getting rather more excited than necessary watching Samuli enter Bulgaria by crossing the Danube on a ferry. The rider right behind seems to have missed the boat and it looks like a 2 hour gap between sailings.

About 50 mile downstream another rider waits at a ferry terminal, can't find a schedule for that crossing but looks to be run on a "fill up and sail" basis. Seems to have been waiting for three and a half hours so far.
