[Deleted Cyber]

Good man will! Your karma points are well in credit

It's brilliant that you made the effort to raise the money. All thanks to you.

 

[Wombat del combate]

Yeah man, do it! We'll have a TWF team...

LJ, JLovatt, Keef, Metal_Warrior, Penk, Wombat....???

Paddy as Directeur Sportif?

 

[BillyDee]

Great stuff Machin, very well done.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Paddy as Directeur Sportif?

Does that mean he's in charge of the blood transfusions and dodgy packages?

Well done, Machin. Top effort!

 

[Wombat del combate]

I'd rather not think about his dodgy package so soon after breakfast TBH.

Not sure about the EPO but if passed us bidons of champagne, coffee and honey mixture for energy then I'd be all for it.

Brilliant effort, Machin. Congrats on both the ride and the fundraising.

Been on the 2018 Pre-registration since before I signed up for the 2017 ride :icon_lol:

Well done !

This is what Bewdley looked like yesterday:

The noise and atmosphere was breathtaking. As was the punchy little climb coming out of it; albeit for different, more literal, reasons.

 

[Langers]

Great photos - Bewdley is great for things like that.

Just added another fiver courtesy of a PayPal offer to get £5 off my next purchase. Decent of them to support your ride ;-)

Machins ride was a lot harder than what I'm aiming to do,against the clock with thousands of others,having to keep a good pace for 8 hrs or so.i did a couple of 100 mile days in the Ukraine because I had to get to the next village for water and food(yes some were that far apart) and I couldn't move the day after.
Mines just going to be a plod at an average of 5-8mph loaded with 25kg of luggage,with stops for anything that looks interesting,cups of tea that sort of thing.

On your own, Keef, or will you have mates with you?

On my own,it's about 6000 miles I think(haven't looked),17 countries,2 continents and 6 visas, going to take maybe 12 months solid cycling,18 months in reality,I've got to have 6 months off in Georgia/Armenia for the winter weather -20+ and could be 2-3 feet off snow,that's if I get that far,aiming to do it on £5-7.50 a day! Going to be a lot of wild camping,but I can get free accommodation through cycle touring website,where you stop in random strangers homes after emailing them,I'm already a host on this site,so I'll just swap and be a guest instead

Sounds insane but brilliant.

 

[machin05]

I know which I would rather do :icon_lol:

This appeals to me so much, although I'd probably head through the warmer countries (once had a similar idea of London to Burma for charities that interest me - 7000 miles I think). However should have done it when I was younger and had less commitments...
