Amazing journey and life experience!

The last rider crossed the finish. 7400km completed!

Congratulations to you Lawrence on your amazing journey and life experience!

“This is the toughest and the longest unsupported cycling race in the world. It’s a three month long journey and an adventure of a lifetime. Words cannot express how I am feeling now, or what I have experienced in a single post. There were a lot of ups and downs in this journey. Nothing is easy and I have learned a lot. This race had made me a tougher person and cyclist”

Lawrence Loh at the finish line in Tarifa. 7400km completed. 100 days in the saddle. Photo courtesy of Lawrence.

130km to go for Marianne

Marianne is in Ronda and has only 130km to go to the finish Tarifa.

Marianne struggled like some other riders too with Covid. It hit her hard and she stayed for a week in Rovaniemi. But she kept focusing on her goal to finish in Tarifa.

Good luck Marianne for your final stretch to Tarifa!

One last climb and a downhill left for Remi

One last climb and the downhill to Tarifa. That’s it what Remi Tarras has in front. When we saw Remi 5 days ago at Teruel, he told us what problems he had with his bike. For example he had to change the bottom brakets 2 times. But also Remi was not to stop.

Only 70km to the finish in Tarifa for Jasmijn

Only 70km to the finish in Tarifa for Jasmijn. She struggled with many issues during her journey. Troubles with the shoes or a crash in the downhill from El Canto in Spain slowed her down. But she kept focused on her goal to reach Tarifa.
