Is it possible to add notes to a route on an edge 820?

I think Pawel is going to ride fixed again? Gonna watch his dot.

It's the lack of detail and accuracy on the maps I don't really like. Also the big chevrons are a bit confusing sometimes in areas with lots of streets.

Same here. Got the 820 and tested a Bolt for a few weeks. Love it, except for the maps. Garmin is way better maps-wise and that's the screen I'm staring at most of the time. Keeping my Bolt as a backup (during TCR) but the 820 will stay my main device.

2 short videos of the start last year. I was standing on the steepest part of the Muur:

What did you ask for exactly? Bum plaster isn't the medical term I think. Or did you just take a box with plasters?

Ofcourse the route planning also. But the article (and conversation) was about "how much should I ride?".

Like it says in the article, you guys are used to racing these events and you know you can do it. The only question that remains is: how fast? So you can focus on just the physical aspect of the preparations.
I'm fairly new to this game so I'll be doing long rides and multi-day rides as well as short hard rides (Zwift). Maybe not benificial for the body but very much so for the mind. (And testing and getting to know the gear.)

I'm also doing 3 to 400 a week mixed with some long rides. Did a 360km all nighter last week. Planning a few 2-day rides in may and june as well to test the full setup and get some extra miles in. Gym-wise I'm doing 2 core sessions per week to strengthen my back and neck.

Looking for a sleeping bag to use during the TCR. Would this one suffice? https://www.carinthia.eu/bags/en/shop/Sleeping-Bag/G+90/?card=1765&variant[0]=L&variant[1]=RIGHT
Looks roomy (I dont like tight mummy bags) and still lightweight and small when packed.

I did it last year and it is very hilly. Some hills are steep so I think doing it fixed isn't really an option. (I might be wrong, not a fixed rider)

I'm looking for a race bike rental place in Bilbao (or surroundings) for next month. I found velocerental but they are fully booked. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know of any rental places (that maybe haven't got the strongest online presence and that's the reason my Google Fu is failing me.)?

Facebook is full of people helping the riders:

• Pawel lost his cogs and people are shipping them to a nearby city for him to pick up
  
• Abdullah getting help to fix his derailleur
  
• People guiding racers through cities and around roadworks (trail angels? so maybe a grey area?)
  
• People mentioning riders to tell them to keep riding because of weather changes up the road
  
• Rhino changing bike and clothing
  
  

Still a crazy ride but not really unsupported for a few select?

(Kristof A's name only has one f at the end.)

He looks a lot more normal in this interview than his videos :)

But why all the beads and rings...

Interview with Abdullah yesterday:
http://www.bicyclingaustralia.com.au/news/2018-ipwr-we-speak-with-lead-rider-abdullah-zeinab-as-he-stops-in-the-clare-valley

No, Abdullah is indeed the Glucose Network guy: https://www.youtube.com/user/abdullahzeinab1
He filmed it last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5b9or1rGp8

Abdullah is gunning it. Curious to see if he'll be able to keep that pace.

But that means you would have to climb up to Mangart first and then turn around to come down via the 902 and climb again via the 206?

The CP3 coordinates give me some spot in Belgium:

And there is no road to CP2, or is it the long way round via the 203 and 206?

Does anyone have a map with the mandatory climbs to the checkpoints? I'm struggling with the coordinates and the lack of roads on any of the maps (Google, OSM, sattelite,...).

What airlines do you guys use to get back and when do you book? Last-minute and any airline that will take a bike?

I'm in also. Rollercoaster of emotions at the moment. :) Anxious, happy, nervous, scared, stoked and back again.
