• I think my route was about 4050km of something that looks rather efficient, but I put it together so quickly I should really go through it in detail again and get more familiar with the parcours too. That'll indeed be more important than minor details in gear etc. but I've had other things to keep me busy.
    Just bought a new frame bag as the old one gave up and put some new parts on the bike too, it's good to go with just a change of tyres and chain. All the other gear is basically ready too.

    I have a flight, insurance and doctors note, should book hotel in Burgas and the flight back from France. Also signed up for PBP if I'm conscious by then.

    I'm organizing a 24 hour version of a race like this in Helsinki again in the end of August and plan to ride through all the possible checkpoints for that before TCR, but spending days at work isn't helping with that.

  • Docs note. I always forget that because if I'm not dead yet I don't expect another TCR will be enough to do it.

    I don't have return plans made yet either. It's going to depend on how long it takes and how I feel afterwards. Could maybe ride to ferry port, or there's trains, or perhaps bum a ride if @scherrit is at the finish again.

    I've still got to look at Transiberica route - like this I have a basic one but I could've made big mistakes. Did your mate that rode last year ever write up his experiences in a race report? It would be nice to have a rider's input into my cough plans.

  • No he didn't write anything other than instagram posts. He'll be there again, with a mostly similar setup I believe.

    I'm just going through the parcours in streetview, damn it looks good.
