Transcontinental Race No. 6 - TCR6 - #TCRN06 - 2018

Wind was coming from the west too today ! I'm staying in a 'warm shower' a few kms east of the start and was invited to join for dinner, the guy brings out a selection of his 6 favourite beers and some Belgian chocolate for dessert. I'm not sure I want to leave!

My pal Innes is racing light again this year. Cap 231.

^Best tires for the job

he's a fan. Just hoping he doesn't have to seat/reseat them, as they sound awful to get on/off the rim.

That's a good looking bike. I wouldn't want to put too many bags on it either.

Yeah some people really struggle to fit them on TLR-rims :)

I had no issues fitting them on my bike (but had a sidewall blow out after 1500km), then again, wasn't using tubeless rims.

Trackleaders doesn't have rider list yet. Is that still the right place to follow?

Yes. We're getting our trackers tonight.

Best of luck tonight everyone! Stay safe and have fun, I’ll be cheering you all on!

very much this. looks like all the bad luck has been used up by Jurgen Knupe so you should all be fine.

wind at your backs all

good luck & godspeed to all lufgussers on their way to Meteora!

Best setup here. Looks like a Chpt 3 front half. 11 speed internal hub. Cap 34 I think

Good luck all.
Look forward to the stories unfolding!

No way, mad.

55 pages and the race hasn't even started yet ... hippy was probably trying to make up for all the posts he won't be able to make while riding.

Allez LFGSS riders. Stay safe, ride hard.

We're about to start... so moved and pinned to front page, and links added to first post.

Good luck all involved.

We'll stay pinned to dotwatching and the front page whilst people are still actively racing.

someone's riding TCR on an MTB? vittoria peyote tyres spotted....

Good luck all.

last year a dude rocked up on an mtb and bikepacking kit and trolled people for a bit but he was just there to watch.

Like geraint just said work hard and dreams can come true . Safe riding everyone and bring it home.

Wishing everyone a beautiful and safe ride!

I like the way that we focus on the MTB when there's a goddamn Brompton in the picture.

Is there a dot watching app or just the site?
