About the race
From the Transcontinental Race website:
- http://artedgeek.com/cres-studio-wish-list/ Unsupported: Cyclists ride alone and are reliant only on what they can carry or can find in publicly available services. No pre-arranged support and no dedicated assistance.
- Unconstrained: One stage, a start and finish line and a few check points, the rest is up to the cyclist to choose where, when and if they sleep and the route in between. There’s no maximum or minimum times.
- Unmatched: This is Europe’s longest single stage unsupported bike race. Riders cover a minimum of 2000 miles, with a mountain checkpoint high into the Alps over the Stelvio Pass.
