| 00:00 - 00:03 | I need decisions. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | Transcontinental race starts in 2 weeks. |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Ventoux, Assietta, Vukovar, Lovcen. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Start is from Geraardsbergen and finish line in Istanbul. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | Distance is going to be atleast 4000 kilometers. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | I have a great plan. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | I'll see Leaning tower of Pisa and Transfagarasan. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | But Mikko. |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | That is almost 5000 kilometers. |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | Only Kristof could do that and he's doing Trans Siberian extreme instead. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | I only have two weeks to finish. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Who here wants to go to a bike race? |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | Do you have any idea how boring Po valley is? |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | I could be riding a trainer at home and stare at red line. |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | To south there is lovely Tuscany and I could go all the way to Pompei. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Take ferry from Bari to Bar and wave at other riders on way to Vukovar. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Road from Timisoara to Transfagarasan beats truck slalom on E80. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | I just need a proper schedule. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Or maybe go to Innsbruck and follow Danube to Vukovar. |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | That is at least shorter and easier. |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | That is still almost 5000 kilometers. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | That is only 350 kilometers per day. Less than a brevet. |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | But I need time to recover for Paris-Brest-Paris. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | I could ride that with unicycle hands tied. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | And there is always someone to draft. |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | And someone to talk to. |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | But I need decisions on this route. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | There is so much to see. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Straight route is flat and boring. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | I want to at least see San Boldo pass and Madonna del Ghisallo. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Last year I missed last boat to Bellagio by 3 hours. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | I just need to make it in time for the finish line party. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | Everyone's gonna be there and it is going to be fun. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | Have a beer and listen to endless stories of angry dogs. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | I only do this for pizza and beer, with some cycling in between. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Some sightseeing doesn't hurt. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Everyone who finishes in time is a winner. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | Finishing fast is just about bending rules until they break. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | None wants to see riders breaking traffic laws or cutting in lines. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | This is to show that normal people can ride across continent on their own. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Most of the people find it too hard to ride to get groceries. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry. All roads go to Istanbul. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Even 4000 km is longer than anyone has ever ridden in Transcontinental before. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Last year only 1/4 would have finished this distance in time. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | Even the easy route climbs almost 40 kilometers. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Even the easy route climbs almost 40 kilometers. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | It could be raining dogs and trucks in Balkans. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Headwinds from Black sea might throw me back to Adriatic sea. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | I can't wait for the show to start. |
