The Transcontinental Race is widely recognised as one of the toughest ultra-races in the calendar with riders self-routing themselves approximately 3200-4200km via four mandatory checkpoints across Europe. The 9th edition takes riders from Gerrardsbergen- Belgium to Thessaloniki- Greece via Passo Dello Spluga- Italy, Zgornje Jezersko- Slovenia, Peshkopi- Albania and Meteora- Greece.
Rigorous route planning and difficult kit choices mean the journey to the TCR begins way before rolling up at the start line. We caught up with Beyond Rider Lisa Pfeifer, Cap 183, to hear about the choices she’s made with her bike setup.
