Podcasts by Lost Dot Podcast: The Transcontinental and Trans Pyrenees Race
Stories from the Trans Pyrenees and Transcontinental 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.
