The Transatlantic Way (TAW)

Lots of familiar names.

I think I only recognise @Nick.Earthloop, Steven Abraham, and Anisa Aubin.

Ede Harrison and @cjr off the top of my head.

Mark Croker (TABR), Paul Buckley (TCR).

Didn't I write these out? With so many anglo saxon names they kind of blend in though so I've probably missed a few I've seen in other races.

Yeah, I wrote down some familiar names already

Ha, with all the talk about cjr doing it I only managed to completely forget about him. Sorry, cjr.

Done. Did you want anymore info?

Will custom bespoke handmake you one for £1k. Cherry wood grip

Does the 1k also include free lifts in the polo?
If so, deal

Nah, it's just handy, thank you!

Throw in a custom Max frame and I'm in (need to sort a roof rack for it for summer epping trips first)

Jig arrives today. Text/PM me what you want.

STEVEN ABRAHAM doing well. up to 11th.

Ireland is stunning. I’ve been excited about being in and out of the top twenty, but that was never really my plan.
I’m going to get extra rest tonight and maybe take it a little easier tomorrow (although I don’t feel I’m over reaching)

I didn’t sleep at all on the first night despite trying to bivvy at Malin Head, and my saddle is too wide causing knee pain and saddle sore issues.

Awesome! Don’t let @pastry_bot catch you enjoying the scenery

What's this blue sky stuff? It's meant to be pissing it down.

Keep chugging dude, looking good. Keep an eye on your knees though. Don't be afraid to adjust position to reduce strain on body parts.

@cjr is 18th with 950km done 💪🏻

Cheers. I moved my cleats in to increase Q factor and saddle up slightly. Seems to help but the inner back of my right knee has weird pain now.

Do you have the link to the no ibuprofen study thing? Is it a total no-no?

I don't use it any more. But you could try the ibuprofen cream, then it's not passing through so many other body systems. Voltaren or Voltarol

Back of knee pain you should be dropping your saddle, or, before doing that doing some good, long hamstring stretches.

@cjr up to 14th..? Keep at it doing amazingly well

TG up to third, Nick.Earthloop in tenth. Great going.

Quite right!
Think I may have met Nick at LMNH...

Anisa had quite a slow three hours this morning on Strava, not sure why?

Nick now in eighth.

Go nick!

Up front, Dan Harty and Matt Seward are now very close together. No idea who's on less sleep, though. They must be grinding their teeth in fear that Steven Abraham is bearing down on them ... no, wait ...

Nick up to 6th. Wow. cjr in 15th (or 13th if you discount the pair ahead of him, who'll presumably be in a different classification).

One of the short route people has finished--Andrew Waddington.

Dan Harty has about 100k left to go and looks as if he's going for the win.

Proper work!

Putting this on my wish list for next year!
