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.

TPRNo3 POD | Day 01
Follow the third edition of the Trans Pyrenees Race (TPR) – a 1700KM self-supported race through some of the most beautifully remote scenery and iconic mountain passes in the Pyrenean Mountains, from the Bay of Biscay to the Balearic Sea and back again with the TPRNo3 Podcast from Lost Dot.
Join us for our podcast coverage of the first day of the Race, hearing from riders on and off-road, recorded straight from the cols and tracks running between the French-Spanish borders. If you listen hard enough, you may even catch the melodic mountain cowbells that score the Pyrenean landscape where riders are pedalling/pushing. Every rider's story is different, and the TPR podcast gives generous and insightful snippets into the TPR experience and journey.
