I gather quite a few people have been following along here. Thanks a lot. I must admit I was in broadcast mode only during the race (looking at your phone is not cycling forward and therefore to be avoided!). However if anyone has any questions about my race please ask away and I’ll try to answer them over the next few days (though slowly because I am a broken man in need of some more clothes!). #TCRNo11 #TCRNo11Cap125

That was a crazy undertaking

Wenn dem so ist kann man nur hoffen, daß es Polizisten sind die das Rennen verfolgen, und sie abgefangen haben, um ihr zu sagen, daß sie i d falsche Richtung fährt 🙏
So wie bei miscsheet #tcrno11cap125 der an der serbischen Grenze mit "Hello Mark" begrüßt wurde.

@miscsheep
Congrats, Mark! You made it!

@miscsheep
Go, go, go, Mark! Almost there now!

@miscsheep making great progress. Already my biggest respect as I might miss his finishing tomorrow. #tcrno11 #tcrno11cap125
Back on my intended course. It is very hot so lots of ice cream is called for. #TCRNo11 #TCRNo11Cap125
In an effort to avoid the dual carriage way into Pleven, I routed myself up a parallel road. Unfortunately that one is being completely rebuilt. You are allowed up it.
So 20 km of bonus gravel, though I think I can reroute soon so I hopefully can avoid some of it. Doh. #TCRNo11 #TCRNo11Cap125
Somewhat have misjudged the transition from 24/7 Albania and North Macedonia to rural Bulgaria (on a Sunday). Didn’t quite run out of anything key but it was a little close. Found a very fast serving grill with a great view now to stock back up a bit. #TCRNo11 #TCRNo11Cap125
