Transcontinental Race (London - Istanbul) - #TCRNo4

Do you have a colour screen phone yet?

It's not techno phobia, it's just I can't be arsed. Photos post to Twitter just fine.

That's a shame, I don't twit

Should I pack some kind of overshoes/toe warmer dealio for those silly alpine temps?

I'm taking toe warmers

I've got some thin waterproofish overshoes.

Josh Ibbetts bike and gear is all in 12,5kg wtf

Though I don't even know how much my bike is. Hope it's not too heavy for the plane, with the box.

Dropped off my bike today, anyone else catching the 1400 St Prancras - Brussels train tomorrow?

Get on it, ya damned technogrouch!

Mine is gonna be 18-20kg. All man. All bike.

Dropped off my bike today, anyone else catching the 1400 St Prancras - Brussels train tomorrow?

I'm on the last train, at 7:30pm

Just create a twitter account with a random name, follow the few people you need to for TCR and then ditch it when TCR is done. No need to tweet anything yourself. Entirely read only.

I have 4 or 5 twitter accounts for following completely different things that I don't want connected together (or back to me directly). No, nothing dodgy...

I'm getting up in a few hours to get a silly early one.

Sleep is for wussies.

.

I'm so excited for you all - might consider selling the business, the kids and the dogs and getting divorced so I can do it next year....!

(only three of those are true)

(only three of those are true)

There's only 1 comma, so all are true.

Grammar was never my strong point :-)

Good luck all, will defo be following this closely

and to get everyone in the mood, thanks to @frank9755 twitter account, the full film of last years race is now available on vimeo

This thread needs pictures of Frites and Trappist beer.

Halfway through watching this and it really is excellent. It got me all worked up and I spent my commute fantasising about whether or not I might be able to ride in 2018...

who is drinking raspberry beer?

Someone awesome

I'm very excited at the prospect of watching people ride this whilst I sit on the sofa and eat pizza.

This is how I watch all sporting events.

Except next Saturday, when I shall be watching Bristol Manor Farm FC play at The Creek in Bristol. Then I'll be eating pies on the stands instead... a rare exception from lounging and pizza.

It's a kriek, rookie, cherry. The who would be my missus.
