List?

Fixed or Geared?

Is there a time limit? I reckon that would be a very pleasant months cycling.......and you could watch Midnight Express at the finish.....

I recognise a few names from PBP and LEL on that riders list. A few post on YACF too.

Ace vids!

Awesome to see these up here. Recep is a friend. Saw him in Germany the weekend (or two?) before the race started. He'd just come from a 275km ride across the alps. Celebrated by drinking beers in a kiddy pool. No sleep for the wicked!

Anyone gonna go watch the departure on 9th August?

Where from?

Westminster bridge no?

As far as I know

http://www.transcontinentalrace.com/

Ishmael (racer I met during the 24hr TTs) is in at #14.

Starting at Westminster Bridge at 8am on the 9th of August.

3 down already

There's a reserve list, that's how Ishmael got in, so those spaces may yet be filled.

awesome, keen to go see the start and oogle the kit and cheer them off

There's a rider briefing at LMNH too.

Ooh, I recognise a few names in that list. Interesting to see Ultan in there too.

Ah, I didn't know he was racing.

There's a rider briefing at LMNH too.

wont that be closed to the public, 100 riders in LMNH they probs don't want flocks of people in there too

Ishmael made it sound open but I didn't mention the details for that reason. Basically if you know someone doing it you know where/when it's happening and can probably tag along.

As I don't/ don't want to get in the way I'll pass on going LMNH though i assume it will be the night before so people can set about doing their own thing in the morning not stressing over admin etc
