Stories from the Transcontinental Race, the Trans Pyrenees Race, and The Accursed Race. At the sharp end they are beautifully hard bicycle races, simple in design but complex in execution. Factors of self reliance, logistics, navigation and judgement burden racers’ minds as well as their physiques. The strongest excel and redefine what we think possible while many experienced riders target only a finish.

TCRNo9 | Race Day
This episode covers TCRNo9 registration and Race day conversations with key TCR players such as Race Coordinator and Reporter Hannah Larbalestier, Bursary rider Han Lu, and expert Race Monitor Tracy Ibbett (hi Josh Ibbett's mom!). We hear from riders who have been to the start line of the TCR before, and have either come back to finish, once and for all, or have been inspired by friends who they've cheered off in years' past. This episode takes us on a journey through registration, rider briefing, to hearing from Alderman for Sport for Geraardsbergen, Stephan De Prez, right before riders headed to the start line 24 hours ago.
Enjoy the Race day buzz!
