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

We had to take a pic at Puy de Dome I think

Mike suggested we took a selfie at the Col de Ceyssat (by PdD) but nobody ever looked at. Good job as I looked a wreck in mine.

I’ve not heard anything on CP2 where did you see that?
Pacours don’t cause me issues as long as they start and finish in the same place...

I got a screenshot of something from Farcebook.

Ta, shouldn’t be too problematic then

Teravail Ramparts have arrived.
460g per tyre in the 32c durable.
Think that’s a no from me.

What will you use instead?

You didn't read the spec before you bought them? They're like Marathons.

I thought the "Light & Supple" 32s were too much at 390g

I might change my tune when I'm booting a tyre by the side of the road...

CP2 parcours has been shortened.

Yeah but bought them in slight panic. I blame @skinny

GP4000 28s come up 32 on my rims.
Yourself?

Ha

Wish all of you racing all the best. Have fun and enjoy yourselves, thats all that matters.

Wait, what, winning is all that matters.

I'm winning at gooch shredding and beer selection. The 'race' bit is an aside :)

GP 4 seasons in 32

The sidewalls are a bit thicker but they've got less tread on them that GP4000s.

I was worried about the sidewalls on the 4000s

Same. Which is why I'm not using them.

The 4Seasons aren't much better. 0.2mm thinner tread than 4000S and 0.15mm thicker sidewall.

Oh dear! I will have to just deal with them now. What are you running?

Probably Michi Pro Endurance but I've not actually decided yet.

They might be the Krylion 2 endurance ones now . https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/michelin-krylion-2-2017

Only found out because planet x have them at £18 a pop.

What might be?

Pro 4 Endurance are a different tyre.

I'm only repeating what I've seen elsewhere, but apparently the Krylion 2 endurance are the same tyre as the Pro4 endurance. And I couldn't tell difference when I had them in hand. Not that it matters anyway, as the Krylion are only in a 25.

They're thicker and slower according to your link. Similar tech maybe but Pro 4 are still available.

Last year they asked me if I saw someone at the top as their tracker had been turned off. And a couple of years ago I think they got asked an 'audax' type question, ie, where does the second sign at the end of the road point to.
