Welcome to the sixth edition of the Transcontinental Race. The Transcontinental is a bicycle race from point A to point B, via Control Points, where solo riders and pairs race without outside assistance. There are few rules, summed up by our final rule: ‘Ride in the spirit of self-reliance and equal opportunity.’ As our race founder Mike Hall once said, it’s an event ‘where a rider can simply pick up a bike, shake hands at the start line and race thousands of miles for the pure satisfaction of sport.’
