Completed @thetranscontinental in 13 days and 8 hours. 33rd to reach the finish line and 4,000km cycled across Europe far quicker than I thought possible. Honestly thought I'd be struggling towards the back of the field, but as soon as we kicked off everything felt good on the bike. Training clearly worked, legs were strong and I functioned much better on such little sleep than I thought I would. I stayed calm, focused and only really cracked on the final night. Gutted I couldn't stay for the finishers' party, but also very excited to sleep in my own bed tonight. Met some great people on the road - thanks for the good company. Cheers to everyone to sent messages of encouragement during the race. Was too busy pedalling to reply, but I read and appreciated them all. Shout out to my pals at @apidura for all the advice and support. Now, time to catch up on some sleep! . . . . . #tcrno7 #tcrno7cap241

@thetranscontinental starts tomorrow. For those asking how to follow the race, you can do so via @dotwatcher.cc. I'll leave a link to it in my bio while the TCR is on. My dot (cap 241) will probably be near the back, but hopefully I'll still be moving along. Dot-watching is an odd pass time for races like this, but it's also strangely enticing. I've enjoyed following a bunch of the ultra-endurance races, so now it's my turn to have a tracker attached to my bike. . . . . . #thetranscontinental #thetranscontinentalrace #tcrno7 #tcrno7cap241 #apidura #nobaddays

Had forgotten how miserable summer nights in the bivvy can be for a hayfever sufferer... . . . . . #bivvy #bikepacking #apidura #tcrno7 #tcrno7cap241

Been 'training' for the first time in my life. The nice part about burning up so many miles at the weekend, is getting to see some new parts of the country. 90km after work on Friday and camp in Berkshire. 300km down to Devon on sat, and then 160km on to Lands End. 6pm train back to London Sunday night. Not too bad for a weekend ride... . . . . #tcrno7 #tcrno7cap241 #landsend
