Trans Continental Race 27th July 2025

Is there a way on the tracker of selecting Matt and Sowler? I’m constantly zooming in and out.

Does that mean they can’t use gravity downhill? :rofl:

Yes, that’s right.
They cannot, as TCR09 does not recognise gravity as a valid theory.

Have you not read The Cult of TCR?
I think you’ve got to buy the second chapter.
The first one is free :flying_saucer::lizard:

Yes.

Click the details button on the right.
Search for them
Click the star button to favourite

Then when you’re in the details menu, you can filter to just favourites.
Easier if you’ve got it in full screen mode, not on the race website where it’s slower and a bit glitchy.

Front pair are approaching the checkpoint. Presume, some point tonight if they don’t stop now.

Thanks @Jgav :+1:

Eventful day. Stopped in a bike shop for new tube. I dropped my wallet when leaving, realized 5k Down the road (when I saw John). Luckily got wallet returned.

I decided to stop at 2130 in Andermatt, I’m tired and it’s a bit rainy and bloody cold so climbing up Gotthard for 1.5 hours not a great idea

Having any sleep? Other than the crazy endurance needed, its the sleep deprivation which would get to me.

Fixies only to make sure they have to pedal on the descents too :roll_eyes::rofl:

Looks like Matthew is just about to get onto the parcours.
John maybe 20 miles behind

I am getting a full night sleep. Keep meeting other riders who got 1 or 2 hours in a bivy in a bus stop or shopping Centre…. They look buggered and it’s day 3

Can you sleep wherever you want i.e. at a Pension?

I’m amazed how far ahead 1st and 2nd are of everyone else and averaging nearly 500km per day :exploding_head:

@Matthew_Spooner and @Sowler both looking strong, staying ahead of the main pack and approaching CP1 at some point in the next 24 hours.

Matthew looks to have stopped for the day, the map seems to indicate he’s at the Hotel Fanconi in Spino. He can take me to court for stalking if he wants :rofl:

His dot is hitting the classic 2/3 active, 1/3 stopped that most of these bike ultras settle out at (except for the crazy people at the font)

Matt’s on the move atm and about 25kms or so from St Moritz.

Looks like the leaders are bedded down a few hundred metres apart! Oh no take it back, moving again.
