Thanks very much, 'Teef.

I'm getting the ferry tomorrow night followed by the familiar tap-in (not tapin) ride down to Paris on Thursday / Friday.

We are being fitted with RFID tags so that our progress can be tracked, in the style of parcels, from checkpoint to checkpoint. If anyone is interested in tracking the progress of their favourite Cyclechatters, then you can do so here:
http://www.paris-bre...vi_participants

You need to put in the number of the person you want to trace (eg mine is 5649 and I believe that Els is 5741 and Rimas (in the fast group) is 1885), then it should tell you where they have got to. There's a full list here

Of course it will give the name of a small place in France, which may not mean very much, so here is a decent map of the route:
http://cyclo-long-co...cours-pbp-2011/

I start between 6:00-7:20pm on Sunday evening (21st Aug). I expect to be at Brest very late next Tuesday Monday night and to finish either late on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. The deadline is midday-1:20pm (90 hours after I started) on Thursday (25th). Els might be keeping a similar schedule but Rimas will probably be back at work by the time I finish!

Rimas is steaming along. Reached the first checkpoint with an average of 17mph.

He's now 220+ miles into the course - maniac!

Of course, with all this stuff giving times etc, it induces concern. Els is not showing at the moment, but I know she reached Mortagne 5 hours ago according to Twitfortat
*It's ok :smile: she is listed now...220kms+ along the way. It's alright for some - gadding about on a bike in foreign parts - for fun! :rolleyes: :smile:
