Transiberica Bike Race (Spain)

Moving man, hippy is still moving.

:P

Stop dicking about on here and go back to moaning on Twitter.

Wind turbines at night are freaky. Remind me of hallucinating in Kansas during TABR last year. #transiberica

If he attacks them, will he be Don Hippyjote?

Hippy, the pastries on your Twit feed have looked so tasty.

Honestly sick of pastries and went to burger king

Living your best life

hippy almost at the final control just metres ahead of Andre Alves in a battle for fifth place. Interesting tussle for second going on as well.

Such a race for the second place!
Go Sami!

So close you couldn't even tell from the dots which one was first of the two, but you can see it from the list of checkpoint and finish times on the tracker. Sami got second place and Bruno was third!

3 minutes difference :)

Congrats @hippy for finishing 5th!

Hippy has finished and is now going flat out on Twitter

Amazing ride @hippy - well done!

Congrats hippy! Now give that body and gooch a few months of rest, you maniac :)

Congrats @hippy

congrats hippy. There can't be much of Europe you haven't rode this year.

Thanks mate. Tough last day but no one was taking my top-5 spot. :)
Been hanging out with Sami and Kim town. Good guys.

Haha yeah. Need to start heading north and exploring Finland etc

North Cape Tarifa...

No more races planned.

(Thank fuck)

Great ride. Would be interesting to see a heatmap of your year :D

Congratulations.

Yeah, that as well as an overlay of my planned routes versus what I actually rode. I'd love to find my routing fuckups and fix the OSM maps so others didn't have same problems.
I've been meaning to do this since TCR 4 though and it hasn't happened yet. One day I'll get it done

Looking at what others did too, apparently there was lots of opportunities to fuck up.
When I was riding in Spain last year, there was whole towns very small ones) that were not on OSM at all. Can't remember where though.

Definitely.
There's also the annual Ruska going through Finland too, it's on right now.

I need to get some OSM maps on the 1030. I was sure they were already installed but maybe not. Garmin maps were mostly ok but sometimes didn't have roads on them. I'd love to be able to edit OSM maps too, so as to prevent rerouting on the fly in future.

Spent some time in the pub with Kim and Sami and heard some funny stories about you lot and your riding :)
