"GO FRANK" As I write this, I felt sure you would take a right at Alexandropoulis Kipon...with the emphasis on 'kip' - but you have forged ahead and will be hanging a right soon enough. Well done. All us slobs in Europe have been drinking beer and wine for two weeks, cheering you on. Best that you stay clear of alcohol I think - it'll spoil your figure.

Speak for yourself...
...I've been having whisky in place of wine....

This is just brilliant, Bravo Emily and Frank! I want to do this.

Brilliant for mortal sat-on-our-arses dot chasers, no doubt; not sure an unsupported cross-continent race would suit many of us, mind.

 

[r04DiE]

Yeah, what a feat but I have suddenly have a real wanting to do something like this. *pours another Jim Beam*

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I'd be happy to give it a go, any time I have a couple of months spare.

Of course, the deep and meaningful experience would need a couple of years spare.

Black Monday, Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Frank's Friday, Efes Saturday, Sweet Sunday

Just a small commuting distance away from probably one of the best moments in a lifetime.

"GO FRANK!"

They could be getting on the same ferry. I wonder if they realise how close they have been together all the way down. Even though they have taken different routes their mileages have been very similar.

A fantastic achievement by Frank and Emily. But there are a lot more stories still out there to be watched.

Frank and Emily both waiting for the ferry!!!

CHAPEAU!!!!!!

 

[rich p]

Phew, he's made it

 

[Dogtrousers]

Woo hoo!

Now that Emily and Frank are home, can we transfer some of our goodwill vibes to Cheng Liu (Jeff) - my niece's friend. She's been showing me videos of his progress on Snapchat (which is too much of a young person's thing for an old git like me to understand).

Outstanding performances from the fnrttc contingent - double chapeau. Been brilliant to follow so far and lots of riders still out there putting in a fantastic effort.

 

[ianrauk]

Well done Frank.
Beers on you
