Transcontinental Race No. 7 - TCR7 - #TCRN07 - 2019

2 week old, wow - Mine is 18 months old, which is hard work but a lot easier, and there is only one of her!
Wedding the day before is risky!

Wedding the day before is umpossible!

Unless you're some teetotal weirdo and the wedding plan calls for zero fun then there's no way.

Entered!

I didn't feel a thing.

Yes joe! Did you volunteer last year in the end? Ride to the start or what?

He was at the start handing out porn trackers.

Yeah, as Hippy said I was at the start..! I half rode and half took the train

Have you entered this year?

Nice one!

Great - you can be both the youngest rider and one of the most experienced!

I hear that Bjorn is entering again, so could be his year, if he takes a bit more care with his route!

He should also leave TAW alone to focus on the TCR win.

I think I read Björn is also doing the Race through Poland, which is in May, and the race in Morocco, in October. All the races.

Race through Poland

I saw that mentioned. Is that the one that goes W-E from the coast? It's only 1000k isn't it?

Not the one I was thinking of.

This is wonderful news!

Are you having another go?

Have to have time to enter! If I miss the cut there’s always volunteering

Not for 2019. I broke my back a month ago coming off on the way to work. Won't be back on a bike until Feb 2019 at the very earliest.
Still have unfinished business so will be back, for another crack in 2020 if they'll have me. I learnt so much form the race this year.
You having a crack?

The route does look rather spectacular.
The climb over Telegraphe and Galibier was wonderful this summer, high mountain views, will be a nice contrast between the many people that are there on a holiday just to climb that climb and the weary ultraracers with thousands of km's in their legs.

I haven't ridden those roads around Bolzano, but most small roads in that area have been so steep it might be better to build stairs there. One had stairs actually.

And the gravel climb in Serbia and what they are promising for Huez, oh yes.

I threw my entry in last night.
