• Maybe it's most of you are British and I'm used to cycle in Belgium? I don't know but I just can't deal with the traffic anymore. It started when I rode into Czechia and since then I haven't felt safe apart from some cycle paths left and right.
    I'm not enjoying the scenery, I'm not enjoying the cycling. All I feel is fear and stress. Constantly.

    Going into this I knew traffic was going to be one of my weak points. But I never expected it to be this bad. And like I said, most of you are probably used to this but I'm not.

    Ofcourse it's not only the traffic but because my mental fight is almost gone my body follows. My legs are so sore, I can hardly climb anymore.

    So with that in mind I'm pretty sure I can't do the last section. 800 km and 11000 m elevation on big roads is too much.
    TCR is a challenge I can't complete.

  • Chapeau though; you've come so far already.

    If you're no longer getting any enjoyment from the race, only stress, then you only have one choice.

    As @skinny said though, you may want to consider trying to finish at CP4, the scenery from all the pictures is beyond incredible. You're only 50Km away...

  • Keep it rolling.

    Speaking from recent personal experience - pushing on through a point when you're totally broken is very satisfying to look back on from the warmth of the pub. Best of luck and ride safe.

    Edit: Courage!

  • Then navigste off the main roads and take back roads. At cp4 there will be a laptop you can use and plan some quiet roads. Montenegro and Albania are absoloutle the most beautiful parts of the trio and once off the main roads as so quiet and brilliant to cycle.

    Just take a but longer and take in the good roads

  • Go MisterTomTom, choose what you think is right, keep going!
