@_julietelliott I record each days ride separately. I think some with garmin etrex will leave it running for the trip or stitch together at the end

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@CyclingLawLDN @georgebernhard @transconrace As many as you can carry. Melting is not normally a problem at this time of year

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@georgebernhard @transconrace I can turn my tracker on for the ride if you like but I’m sure it’s open to anyone

#TCRNo9 is here. https://t.co/V7cd1LGpxs. Starting once again on Flandrien cobbles, this year’s route guides our intrepid, self-supported riders south and east; across Alpine passes, through sheer gorges and along ancient roads, finally coming to rest on the edge of Europe...

Let’s take a minute to appreciate ‘cappuccino’ in Welsh.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

@mkpaa Yeah I honestly didn’t enjoy that 1,000km across France in 2019 😅
I like that it’s quite close, and something that won’t take up too much time but not really feeling the event just yet. Have some other options so we shall see

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

Questions on #PBP. It’s not something that has appealed to me before, but some things may align to give me qualification, so I’m curious. What are the highlights of the route? Does everyone treat it as a race? What is your motivation for the event?

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@firsthippy Yeah that’s likely not to fit through airport scanners so will need opening up. Where are you going?

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@24HourMaths I did better than I thought! Had a fair bit of sendy fun on the downhill at least until those sandy gulleys. Felt really slow

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@tfrank_de Congratulations 👏 👏👏 well done!

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@firsthippy @darrenfranks Oh no, not cherry! Had a bad experience biting into some Jaffa cakes on tcr no 5 expecting marmalade and finding cherry 😬

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@firsthippy @darrenfranks I could give you a recipe for the ‘Jaffa cake pocket bake’ too but it sounds like it would be wasted on you

FIN
And, like that, #TCRNo8 has come to an end on the shores of the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Exactly 16 days after leaving the TCR's Belgian home. Our GC Lanterne Rouge group made it to Burgas just before the 22.00CEST cutoff. Meanwhile, just over 30 riders are still on the road...

@darrenfranks If only @DarrensArse could speak

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

@firsthippy Thanks dude!

[Matthew Falconer @B1RDMN]

Terrifying

These Romanian dogs are giving good chase tonight #tccrno8

I know how those guys felt in American werewolf in London when they didn’t to do Road
