19th July 2023 at 20:00 start. Race no.143.

The Transcontinental is a bicycle race from Trondhiem, Norway to Kalamata, Greece via mountain Control Points(for this edition):

The four mandatory Control Points (CPs) and Parcours are:

CP1: Flåm, Norway – Riders must climb out of the fjord on the Rallarvegen.

CP2: Tatra Mountains, Slovakia – A twin parcours takes riders over the Czech giant Praded, then to the foot of Chopok mountain in Slovakia.

CP3: Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina – The third parcours hurls riders onto the banked tracks of the graffitied 1984 Winter Olympic bobsleigh track on Mt Trebević.

CP4: Leskovik, Albania – Located in a remote corner of Albania, the parcours here winds through a landscape of ‘no shortcuts’.

Where solo riders and pairs race without outside assistance. Some would say I'm a gluten for punishment. But I do like riding my bicycle. Having lost a sister to Breast Cancer, it means a lot to me to support Breast Cancer Now.

Well as a 70 year old. I've survived the training programme. Now, I'm hoping, and counting on you to help us make a difference for those looking for a cure and supporting those who have been touched. We have planned our routes, riding solo in my case. No help or support along the way. Covering over 3000 miles in 20 days. With 4 mountain checkpoints, to get a stamp on my brevet card. I want to get to the final night party in Kalamata, Greece.
