• Really starting to think I should call it quits at cp3. This part of Europe is not made to ride a bike. 2 deliberate close passes at high speed. I'm just riding around now with a feeling of "the next one that's coming is gonna be it". Tcr feels like riding on the right edge of the road, waiting for cars while being baked by the sun.

  • CP3 is a hell of an achievement.

    If you get there and scratch you've got so much to be proud of and support from everyone you know. If you get there and find yourself thinking just a little bit further, you'll also have the support of everyone.

    Do what you need to do, you've already done way more than us armchair dotwatchers :)

  • This here is the main thing that turns me off doing an event like this. Close passes scare the shit out of me on normal roads, let alone thousands of kms into a multi-week race a long way from home.

    Stay safe mate, do whatever you think you need to do.

  • Make the decision that’s right for you.
    Looks like you’ve had a tough head wind for a bit as well.
    Doing amazing stuff, really inspiring.

  • There seems to be a special type of CZ redneck that enjoys a close pass. That and the roads are pretty terrible.
