That's well within his capabilities.

You'd better send him an alert as he approaches India - he's in danger of overshooting.

Wow. What a lad.

Day 36... Romania

Hard to believe this used to be my back garden , this little village in Romania still feels like home. Back on the road in the morning

Day 39 Andy's feeling a bit low..in the Spa town of Băile Herculane - Romania

At 4 degrees today was 20 degrees lower than Saturday. Too cold and wet for many snaps. Really been fighting for clarity and motivation these last days

A like for the update rather than the content. Brrrr. It was cold enough cycling home here tonight let alone over there.

It can be lonely on your Jack Jones. Hope he regains the mojo.
I tried unsuccessfully to find the piccie of him cycling from London to Brighjton on a BMX.

Surely he is bound to feel a bit down after leaving the bit of Romania where he lived and worked? Couple of decent days weather and the crossing of an international border so he is looking forwards and not thinking back will do him a power of good.

This one? What a triumph that was.

That's the geezer! I took the photo but I'm buggered if I can find it now
It was an immense feat, especially up the Beacon!

 

[uphillstruggler]

This is immense.

How do you pay for something like this?

Best of luck to the guy.

Did he do the Beacon twice on that ? I have a dim recollection that he might have.
