Not bad

Apparantly skinny suggested the penalty himself. This is from Juliana on FB:

Actually James Hayden who called us to let us know how dangerous the road was as he was riding it, is himself accepting (and in fact suggested) the small time penalty to reflect the massive detour and extra climbing other riders will have to do to avoid this road.

Hmm, smart.

Where is all his gear? :)

Looking at Google Maps, it seems he's completely changed his route to avoid the tiniest bit of motorway. Would it really have mattered?

I wonder why he didn't ride the little section offroad along the water to end up on the 2420 https://goo.gl/maps/BFZbPaYJQo82

It's a bug in the Trackleader website. Bit technical but when there's no elevation chart the zoom buttons on the map don't work.

doesn't work: http://trackleaders.com/tour14er17

So it's not you, it's them :)

(And if you want to get really technical, you could fix it with uBlock by adding this as a filter: trackleaders.com###elecontrols )

Bjorn (TCR) and Rudy (NC4k) met in the Alps :)

Shame that we have the first scratch after only 12 hours:

hippy on De Muur

First racers really raced up the hill, lot of other racers had to walk but the atmosphere was cheerful.

I'll check out some of the cool kids gear at the start of the TCR next week. :) (Not a racer, just an avid dotwatcher)

I was looking for a rather large top tube bag and I bought the large one from Alpkit as I'm seeing a few ultraracers using it. https://www.alpkit.com/products/fuel-pod-large
But my legs keep rubbing against it as it is 7cm wide. Does anyone know of any top tube bags that are smaller (4cm-ish) but tall enough to create some volume?

Yeah, I was also looking at the RAB survival but a bit bummed out about the price being 50 euro more than the Hunka. Have you found the ebay link?

I'm looking in buying a bivvy bag and the internet seems crazy about the Hunka XL bivvy bag. Problem is they're all sold out with an estimated ETA of 3rd of August.

Anyone has one for sale by any chance?
