It’s Day 12 of the Transcontinental Race and all eyes are on the race for the fastest woman to finish. Race Coordinator Hannah has been tracking Jana Kesenheimer (001) and Cynthia Carson (137), and we catch up with those already at the finish line. Race Reporter Sophie finds out what’s keeping some riders pedalling on, from Italy to the Balkans, and summarizes the current field.

TCRNo11 // Day 11
Day 11 of the Transcontinental Race brings the first two riders to the Finish in Constanța, Romania, securing their podium spots. The bulk of the race separates on two distinct routes — north through Romania, or south through the mountains of Bulgaria. Control Team 2 catches up with riders climbing the mountains, and Race Reporter Sophie catches up with the fastest three women in the race, who still have all to play for, and provides an overview of where the race currently sits.

TCRNo11 // Day 10
It’s Day 10 of the Transcontinental Race, and our race reporters are now both on the eastern side of the Adriatic. Sophie talks us through the women’s field, and it's reset after the fastest three women all boarded the same ferry, and catches up with riders passing through CP5. Jake provides an update on the front of the race — after a decision over the safety of a bridge crossing, the race for the win is still very much alive. We receive more voicenote postcards from riders spanning the full length of the pack.

TCRNo11 // Day 09
Day 09 is a busy day on the Transcontinental Race: CP3 closed at 09:00CEST, some riders received their stamps before doubling back to tackle the parcours, and we hear from riders chasing CP cut-off times. The race for the ferry is ever present, with the fastest 3 women racing towards Bari. In the Balkans, CP5 is open, and more riders are coming through. Race Director Andrew chats with Victor to gain clarity on his ride, and we receive voice note postcards from riders in the back of the pack — eyes set on a finish.

About Lost Dot Podcast: The Transcontinental, Trans Pyrenees, and Accursed Race.
Stories from the Transcontinental Race, the Trans Pyrenees Race, and The Accursed Race.
At the sharp end they are beautifully hard bicycle races, simple in design but complex in execution. Factors of self reliance, logistics, navigation and judgement burden racers’ minds as well as their physiques. The strongest excel and redefine what we think possible while many experienced riders target only a finish.
