wtf? – whats the transcontinental?

http://www.transcontinentalrace.com/

4000k, 14 and a half days – 300k a day.

  • It is an unsupported  event requiring total self-reliance.
    • If your bike breaks ….. fix it.
    • If you get lost …… get un-lost.
    • Need food, somewhere to sleep …. find something.

For those who rely on luck alone, Transcontinental N0.3 will raise the stakes.
Many will fail.

Fuck!

My longest ride to date is 500k.  oh dear
