The Transcontinental Race 2013

Rimas Grigenas-80km from finish of @transconrace must 'win' longest route having rode thru Hungary and Romania. His day started 72hrs ago...

Perhaps Rimas the mouseketeer has found something in the rules that Kristof and the other hares overlooked!

Think we are all looking forward to Rimas' report of the ride.

Yes, but remind me not to ask him for directions!

I want to welcome him back at airport arrivals. Any guesses at terminal and time? Or is he cycling back?

He taking a plane Els - Nairobi - Cape Town - Melbourne - Glasgow - Stanstead. Then he'll bimble back via harwich...for old time's sake.

Great idea. I'm sure he's flying back but can't think how we could find out the details. Maybe he'll say when he re-emerges.

The crowds are assembling at The Attaturk Stadium in readiness for his excellent c. Rimas GR...

340km sounds like a long way but if he hits top speed he'll be there before tea...

275kmph!!!! World land speed record?

At 3.30 I'll be starting an F5 fest.

Rimas is a couple of miles away from the Volvo support vehicle, it looks like they might be meeting him escort him in.
