.@TrainingPeaks Hi, I've tried to log onto my #TrainingPeaksCoach website on 2x different computers and got a blank screen on both. Anyone else experiencing this?

@_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

When people race Ultras do they tend to keep their Garmin running until they get to the end or save their ride at the end of each day, if there is such a thing?

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

@B1RDMN @georgebernhard @transconrace How many ice creams in 66k in a January?

On Saturday 14th January there will be a TCR social ride in London. We're going to meet at Cafe St Germain in Crystal Palace with the ride leaving at 09.30. We've planned a 66km route out into Kent, over Toys Hill, and back to Gipsy Hill taproom where you can join us for a drink.

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

@transconrace Is that aimed just at racers, or also at dotwatchers?

#TCRNo9 is here. transcontinental.cc/tcrno9-2023. 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. nytimes.com/2022/09/14/cli…

@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

@B1RDMN It is something I like being part of. A shared experience. There are few literal highlights on the route. Especially as you've already done the most scenic to Brest. :)

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?

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

@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

@tfrank_de Congratulations 👏 👏👏 well done!

Finish! 😃 #TCRNo8 #TCRNo8cap52 #TCRNo8Riders

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

Day 4. You now bypass the drinks fridge and head directly for the healthcare aisle. The cashier asks, earnestly, if you’re OK as she scans Anusol, teething gel, sanitary pads and Jaffa cakes. “Yes”, you lie. #LEL2022 #truthsofultra

@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

@firsthippy @darrenfranks

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

Day 2. Sweat has pooled in your butt crack, evaporated and left enough salt to gently exfoliate your balloon know with every ripple in the tarmac. Now every fart, shart and bowel movement feels like birthing a Tabasco-dipped pineapple. #LEL2022 #truthsofultra

@firsthippy Thanks dude!

Terrifying

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

These Romanian dogs are giving good chase tonight #tccrno8
