Texas Overland Wheel Race
Apparently it's in October, which is a good time of year. But they have mandatory 6 hour rest periods (which I think is shite)
Here is the route.

Our experiences may differ depending on which firmware is on the device. I have not updated mine since about 2013, as there is no way to rollback to an old version and their firmware is shit at best.

I'd have to check what ver mine is on.

I tried that Pause, let it auto power down thing on the way out of the gym the other day and mine didn't lose anything. Is it an intermittent issue?

I'm running 2.70 on the 800. The latest according to Express.

Iditarod trail invitational is on right now, tracking is here.

And indeed so is Bikingman Oman. The event site is here , but I haven't seen tracking anywhere. They do post instagram live videos. Josh Ibbett and Juliana Buhring are there. The first riders will finish soon. But:

Bastien Fontaine (Race Leader) has been disqualified from Bikingman
Oman effective immediately. Due to unrelenting fatigue he was using a
personal vehicle for the purposes drafting. This contradicts the race
rules and the penalty has been imposed.

So the leaders are now: 1. Rodney 2. Paul 3. Jason 4. Josh

Bastien Fontaine (race leader cheat)

Disappointing.

Where’s that from?

Oh their Instagram. What a tool.

Tracking is on their website.

Rodney Soncco was first in Oman, riding with a flat tyre. Josh Ibbett 2nd and Juliana Buhring 3rd.

What is K.A. racing this year; anybody know?

02/09 TransIberica Bike Race (Bilbao, SPAIN)
http://www.transiberica.cc

Love to... but once again I'm taking the piss with time off work already this year.

Maybe next year.

I'm also trying to do a rando-version o the race to ride it when you want.
Something similar to the Super Randonneur where you can homologate the kilometers of the trip, traveled on your own, to the Parisien, but that will have to be by 2019.

That'd be kinda cool. I've not ridden much in Spain (not the mainland anyway) so it's definitely on my todo list.

This looks real good....

Would like to do it but not straight after TCR, maybe next year

This looks awesome - very excited!

A race around the world is happening again in 2020, according to this
http://www.adventurebikeracing.com/worldbybikechallenge.html

For example michael wacker (the organiser) and björn are on the expected riders list.

books another 4 months off work
