I'm still following the FB story.
It's Day 59, (9th September)
We are in Malatya, which is in the middle of Eastern Turkey, will he make the boarder ?
Will he manage to enter?
The suspense is palatable!
I await his next batch of updates!

aha.. jut seen this thread. Its the Good Doctor.
Did a good few rides with him 10 years back along with @Blue Hills .
Good stuff.

My god, is it? Will go and read.
I well remember him trashing his rear mech and wheel on my infamous hell of chiddingley ride/mutiny and being taken home in a large cab.i have a nice pic somewhere on a bust pc of him enjoying that ride.
I think the last time I saw him was on top of telegraph hill when i was leading my peaks of lewisham ride. He was busy on call i think that night but came along very nicely just to say hi.
Respect Doc. An inspiration.

I installed Instagram just to get the journey updates faster
It's worth it, the pictures are amazing!

He has arrived on FB as well !

Impressive, About 3,500 miles in 67 days
Means he was averaging 60 miles a day, every day,
He had quite a few days off, I'd love some stats and a exact route when you can

Just seen.
Haven't disappeared at all - round and about more than I ever was, cycling solo, cycling with groups, lots of other stuff.
Yes we did get on well - no falling out.
Will be in Sardinia again soon.
all the best, am afraid I don't use FB or Instagram.
(by the by a certain twonk of our mutual acquaintance tried to tell me that I had to join their very own FB group to go on their "invitation only" rides
