Paris-Istanbul, July 2009

[mharrell]

     There's a run from Paris to Istanbul being organized for bikes and microcars under 50cc (one-person) or under 125cc (two-person) with a departure date of 19 July 2009.  This is short notice for an event which is estimated to take most participants between two and six weeks to complete, but the information is here:

I stumbled across it on the French Microcarfan site because the organizer just acquired a KV (of course!) which he is thinking of using for this.  All the best to the participants.

Is somebody going in a Peel ? Might be a challenge mates.

The organizer of this run is apparently well on his way across France in a Willam.  He posted an update here:

which contains a link to his progress on Google Maps.

The organizer stopped posting updates but apparently made it to Istanbul on 23 August:
