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

Even odder considering I read Nick Drake as Drake.

No wonder he's sick. :)

Go David! @Uber-Hero

Hope to see you around here when you've finished.

While we're waiting for David to come in (currently only 125k away), I might be worth noting tht we still haven't heard from @modan. :)

David is making steady progress, he's got about 150km / 100km to go depending on if you go with frrt or trackleaders. Hope someone nabs a picture when he gets done.

He's up to an unassailable 146th place now. I hope he finishes his ride before I finish mine tomorrow.

Great effort, the two of you.

Good luck for tomorrow!

David has just started riding with 163 km to go.

44km to go. He's already travelled further than that over the past three and a half hours. Go David!

Go David, you can finish this today.

Wild doing wild wales yesterday and being absolutely stuffed i thought "well not as bad as lantern rouge or 200k a day for a week".

He's on the final climb.

Really admirable - tough and tenacious.

16 km

Soon...

He's reached the parcours.

I think he's taken a rest to have some food and drink, before doing the last bit.

A few Greeks from a Greek !!!

Coulon's tracker is shown next to Monaxia restaurant.
'Monaxia' in Greek means loneliness......

'Coulo' also means cuckoo (crazy person) in Greek slang......

I wish he finishes today...

There hasn't really been any footage of David other than an early picture of what I guess is his bike. Contrasting the amount of social media around the race, it makes his arrival the more fascinating that there is just a dot to go off and not a lot else. Difficult to discount those tweets he posted about Mike, however perhaps it should be put down to the effects of the race and language barriers etc.

Go on David.

He's nearly there.

He's finished. Chapeau to the power of 31.

How do you know? His tracker position was still on the final descent just now.

frrt.org shows him as finished whereas trackleaders doesn't yet. I think trackleaders is the more accurate, but when riders get that close the trackers have previously been a bit haywire also.

He's moving again, 1km to the finish, o minutes ago!

Now he's shown as riding through Kalabaka.
