The TransAmerica Bike Race is an epic ultra-endurance adventure like few others. Cycling, fully self-sufficient across the United States, self-navigating, via 3 virtual checkpoints, for no prizes - this is rightly considered one for the crazies!

In memory of Eric Fishbein and John Egbers who were tragically killed in 2017 & 2018, respectively, while cycling the TransAmerica Bike Race. In memory of David Blumenthal, Mike Hall, Frank Simons, and Chris Barker who were killed in other ultra-endurance cycling races: Tour Divide, TransContinental, and Indian-Pacific Wheel Race. We as an ultra-cycling community continue to live our ordinary lives, but we do not forget those who paid the ultimate price to be a part of it. Share the road.
