Dot watching again

 Nick Cooper has retired and is now cycling 1800 kilometres through Kyrgyzstan on the Silk Road Mountain Race. He did it some time ago and had to withdraw with a knee injury so this time he is determined to finish.

Trish Maggie and I are dot watching his progress on the map and willing him on. We are nearly as breathless as he is. He is on 1020 kilometres as I write and is high in the mountains.

The riders have to carry everything they need for the gruelling trek; control cars monitor but do not support.
