Here's the remaing sock battling on bravely towards Istanbul. </p> <p><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BvaoWlMCAAA3moW.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13340#post-163190 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 19:25:03 +0000 gembo 163190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The winner of the woman's event is Pippa Handley from Edinburgh. Took her twelve days to cycle to Istanbul. Much respect.</p> <p>Story on road.cc has MS Handley finishing with one sock and being asked by wee Turkish boy in petrol station Why the one sock, she said a dog stole the other one. He replied Did he not need the pair?</p> <p>The male winner finished in just under eight days, a day ahead of second place. Not sure if the winner slept at all?</p> <p>I have it from his uncle that Fast Dave was well in contention but suffered an injury. </p>
