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 | Day 11
On day 11 of the #TCRNo9 Podcast, Control Car 2 is stationed at CP4 and the stretch towards Thessaloniki, catching riders after they’ve experienced the majesty of Meteora and as they set their sights on a finish. We look back at when the Race was getting close between Jaimi Wilson (004) and Maria Holdcroft (041). Josie Allchin, the Community lead at Apidura – our Finish CP sponsor – tells us what it’s like to volunteer at the Finish, and about Apidura’s long standing relationship with the Transcontinental Race. We then hear from recent finishers Christian Dupraz (153), Kilian Wagner (180), and Pairs winners Sherry Cardona (334a) and Gereon Tewes (334b), brevet cards full and freshly stamped.
