A very solid ride from Lionel Bobb yesterday after the rigours of the CP4 parcours. He rode 144 km, very close to his average, over challenging terrain. Over 9 hours on the bike yesterday and almost three hours and 62 km already today. He has around 571 km to go. Is it too much to hope that he will finish on Sunday on the 28th day of his ride?
Neil Matthews also made progress yesterday. He tends to ride quite a bit in the wee hours and therefore it is difficult to ascribe his mileage to be day or another as the cut off on frrt is 10 pm CEST. He covered 104 km yesterday in 7.5 hours but did spend quite a bit of time in Brno either shopping or lost. He is reporting difficulties still with navigation and posted an Instagram picture of his bike in a desolate urban area under a flyover. That said, he is moving and has ridden for 4 hours since 10 pm yesterday and covered 60km. He is 153 km away from CP3. Let’s hope he makes it tomorrow. He may be now just over half way. This means that, unless he ups his pace, we can expect a ride of around 50 days.
