Transcontinental Race No. 6 - TCR6 - #TCRN06 - 2018

Freehub erviced, new tyre on, girl back with the drinkz, packin' party time!

music of choice while packing for TCR / drinking?

I’m quite excited to start dotwatching again, and 'enjoying' the gooch updates over the next couple of weeks. Good luck to you all!

I'm thinking we need some kind of animated Gooch-swingometer here so that we can keep an eye on the things that really matter in this race..

Zero would be Buttery-Smooth, Ten would be Tony Martin Sandpaper Saddle..

None yet. I watched the Tdf and now I'm watching no-prep drag racing. #petrolhead

But I like the idea of some tunes...

My first TCR was much, much worse than Tony 'bleedy shorts' Martin.
So was TABR for that matter.
I'm getting better at preventing total gooch destruction though. Either that or my undercarriage is just mostly scar tissue now

Missus first suggestion, now playing:

I'm taking a ride, with my best friend...

(she subbed 'with' for 'without' though, isn't she sweet delusional)

Phone no longer fits. Methinks bars hath rotated since stem swap.

Cold beers will be raised to all en route. That's no help, I know. Happy packing.

Thank goodness that 's' key is working again.

Aaah I love the start as the swarm departs. Slovenian goat tracks await!

You guys going lube for dry or wet conditions?

Best of luck everyone!
I'm feeling a bit sad this weekend about not being able to make it, but look forward to tales of pain and hardship to make me feel better about missing out!

Thanks Frank. Pity you won't be on the start line- next year tho!
