Trans Am Bike Race / TransAm / TABR

Still showing Rob English at zero feet so far. Has he forgotten to switch his spot tracker on?

His bike is so fast he's giving everyone a head start?

I'm doing the same with the Tour Divide....it's currently about a 17yr head start and climbing each year! :)

7 hours in and @hippy has done almost 120 miles. And he will probably just carry on at that rate until the other coast. Bon voyage!

It's even more addictive seeing that both hippy and Rob English's spot trackers look set to update less frequently than the other riders at the top end of the race.
Means they drop right back down the leader board and then every hour or so they appear right back in top ten!
Or in the case of Robs last update... First place! :)

Hope that's in line with the 'race your own race' tactics from @skinny - the big man's putting a great pace on

afaik he trains to iso power, so will suspect it will be about keeping that consistent and speed will be a by product

I've put the tracker link in the first post.

was just about to ask you to do this

good thinking bossman

is @hippy wearing rapha?

His spot seems to be pinging every half hour, nice of him to give us time for a leisurely pint between updates.

What's a good follow for photos from the race?

That was just on the official page: https://www.facebook.com/TransAmBikeRace

Guess https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/tabr2017/
and https://twitter.com/hashtag/TABR2017 are worth a look too

Cheers ears.

Awesome to wake up and see @hippy in first place! Kicking ass!

I got Andrew Suzuki in first..

He is now, but when I woke it was showing Hippy in first...honest Guv!

Fifth place now. Quick brewery tour?

Stopped for a Ruby! :)

6h stopped for Rob... ride hard, rest hard?

yeah, I remember reading that was his plan

I think Apidura have definitely won the most popular luggage award! :)

Is the 'crazy light' guy really that crazy... seems like a lot of people are hauling way too much.

Does anyone know who he is? Be interesting to see if he's at the sharp end.
