Anyone else on here?

@hippy I've been using Gore bike wear waterproof oversocks (not overshoes) for years, they are waterproof and keep feet warm really well. Problem is I can't find them online anywhere, still looking for you...

EDIT: I think this is the nearest to my old ones https://www.gorewear.com/uk/en-uk/gore-c3-gore-tex-socks-100243.html

Cheers. I'm flying tomorrow though so probably a bit late. I'll just start small fires on my feet again...

It will only be a few years before hippy can live stream the entirity of these rides. We'll be able to wake up at any time of day or night, pick up our phones and watch the suffering. The future looks good.

Crowd-funded network of drones? Maybe with little care packages that we can drop as well. And we vote whether to feed him chocolate or worms each day, I'm a Celebrity style.

We're already suffering

Slingshot practice would keep my occupied between hamburger joints.

How can I sponsor a pack of fkndgs?

Just paypal hippybeerfund@gmail.com and it'll go to a suitable dogpack... trust me...

So we've got three weeks of hippy's gooch and Darren's Arse to look forward to.

I've only gone and packed the bike without swearing at something!

Holy fucking shit, amazingz!

Don't forget Darren's Legs & Balls. I'm sure the Legs will complain but lets hope his Balls don't start tweeting again...

I would prefer to forget about Darren's balls.

In all seriousness, Darren and hippy are two of the most amusing users of social media among the ultra cycling community and so I am really looking forward to this race.

We now can be sure that something truly diabolical is going to happen. Lost or broken luggage are probably the most likely.

I just hope he doesn't fall on his arse and get a gaping hole in it.

Best of luck chaps, envious and awed in equal measures.

Bike and rider arrived safely to Seattle. I’m being hosted by another racer, Troy Hopwood, and we’ll be making our way to Astoria in the morning.

Godspeed y'all! @hippy @DarrenFranks

So far so good unfortunately. Nothing to complain about yet :)

Good luck guys, and smash the race, not you're undercrackers!

If you have a moment, can you add this years Trackleaders link to the first post to make it easier to find? Or maybe @Velocio could do it?

Done
