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.

In this twelfth episode of the Transcontinental DAILY series, Tom hosts alongside Beccy Waters and Race Reporter, Ross. They talk about competitiveness amongst the riders, how you have to think about so much more that riding your bike on TCR, self-talk motivation, fixed-gear bikes, hi-viz bikepacking bags. Listeners question the ferry logistics.
