Trans Am Bike Race / TransAm / TABR

I may have misinterpreted his tweet

Just dragged chain into spokes. My work here is done. #TABR2017

Hooray. He has just tweeted this:

Caught it before killing derailer thanks fuck. Saved.. Limit screw might need adjust.

Hippy rides again.

Riding. Just meet trail angel. Used track pump. 60-90psi

Keep going Hippy!!

GO HIPPY

Keep it up hippy!!!

Is it deliberate that the end of the ride touches all three corners of the 'Historic Triangle'?

I feel sure it must be, but I can't find anything on-line about that.

Go Hippy! You can make it!

The route follows the one created for Bikecentennial 76. They later became known as the Adventure Cycling Association.

Hippy for president

Ah, thanks, that'll be why!

Needless to say, the best Twitter account to follow is Mummy Hippy @PollyBirnie1

@hippy gaining on the top 10 finish - just 155 miles

"Just".

I really hope Janie can hold onto third... Her lead has dropped a little bit, but she's clearly digging deep, so hopefully she can hang on for her last 200 miles.

Jon finished in second place overnight, 18.5 days, think that was his first shot at the race?

First shot at anything long. Impressive.

Anyone able to ID the bottle mount on Jose Bermudez top tube?

Zip ties?

Yes zip ties, but I think gillies wants to know what the blocks are that the zipties are holding to the frame, and that the cage is bolted on to. Might be worth asking JB on twitter/gram/etc.

Closest I can find with a quick google are the Elite VIP Bottle Cage Clamps: https://www.evanscycles.com/elite-vip-bottle-cage-clamps-EV242878

Thanks - I asked him on FB, but what you've put there looks handy. Had planned to stick a bottle under my aero bars but wondering if this is an easier fit.

King Cage USB seems like a more reliable option if your tubes are round.
