Transcontinental Race No. 6 - TCR6 - #TCRN06 - 2018

Frisco Disco!! Well done!!!!!

Welcome @DiscoPotato Fin.

Is messaging people on lfgss your version of going to finish? If it's acceptable I'm going to do it, easier and I can sit by the pool.

No I am at the pub to welcome. Just bought bag load of beers, milk and food for him. Get off your arse lazy :P

lazy

skinny's such a shirker, riding for fewer days than everybody else. :)

Congrats @DiscoPotato excellent work!

'I'll have a cafe freddo I'm by the pool. thanks.

Nice one @DiscoPotato! I'm loading my last gpx file. Pretty happy about that. :)

yeah these two, along with @7ven, have been my favourite racers to watch this year. massive chapeau to each of them

Ahh such a good feeling.

Hope it's not 800km files though! Ha

I've done that before... Yippee one file to go... Oh shit it's 500+ Kms. :(

Anyone else on the BA flight from Thessaloniki to Gatwick Wednesday at 15.00?

Went to the train station to find out the Wednesday morning train is sold out so looks likely that I'll need to miss the party and leave tomorrow afternoon

Speak to Juliana.

They should be putting on a bus Wednesday for riders and bikes to the airport.

Can you rent a car instead? They're super cheap to rent in Greece...

^ above seems much easier.

Take the bus?

Stephane Ouaja has just posted a photo on Instagram taken by Camille McMillian on the CP4 parcours.

It is the most evocative picture of the TCR that I have seen. Absolutely excellent. It encapsulates the story and the spirit of the race.

I missed following the race this year, is the official blog the best place to get a summary?

Gutted I missed the newspaper sales

They're open still.

Another rider binned it on the descent. Minor road rash.

yep, the race report section on transcon site and the dotwatchers blog.

Ordered, ta. Feeling very inspired by the tcr racers and other ultracyclists, really well done to everyone involved.

I'm trying my own big ride this week: 300km in a day and a half. It's no ultra but it's inspired by them and it's my biggest yet

If any help I have a Wednesday evening train ticket?

I know we didn't do the whole thing together and it might have gone tits up later but It was working well up till our break. We had a framework which we were both happy with working in and then it's just a case of understanding the other person and making sure what you are doing is making the team get to the finish as quickly as possible.

Damn that was fun.
Thanks for the warm welcome @hippy, I can definitely recommend the beer and chocolate milk back to back for recovery.

Waiting for you now @MisterTomTom, bring it home.
