HOW TO PLAN A ROUTE FOR THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RACE: Part 1 joining the checkpoints

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- The Transcontinental Race is a self supported bike pacing race across Europe. The organisers provide checkpoints and mandatory procure sections and riders must plan their own race route. In this video I run through how I plan a race route using RidewithGPS.

Thanks for the insights
oh, and looking at previous routes from previous races... shh, don't tell everyone. I think I borrowed parts of your tcr#2 route through greece / albania for tcr3, and have been ripping off route choices ever since. You are not supposed to tell everyone our secrets :-)
thx for the tips, Im using ride with gps for my next 3 month vacation GDMBR +Baja+Trans Mexico route,
I kinda make day routes 120-150km but I didn't know how to join them for in one long section yet so thx for that :)
Thanks, very interesting to see how you plan your ride. Good luck with the race !
Great stuff.
Iv'e used komoot as an initial guide for the CPx to CPy initial routhing. I find rwgps a bit 'brutal' for that. However, I do all subsequent detailed planning in RWGPS, with heatmaps from strava - I did not know rwgps had those, so thanks.
I personally spend hours on route planning - every decision made now, ahead of the race means one less decision needed on the race, so less stress etc. Just follow your route.
This was great thanks - so good to see how a pro does it and stops me thinking I'm obsessive about route planning! ;) Past few years been using komoot mostly, but for bigger trips it's quite frustrating and I see here that RWG is so much more powerful - will check it out. Ws surprised that you have it on 'driving' and there aren't more cycling routing options. Anyway, you're probably riding this now - maybe when you get back and recovered you can go through the route you did and what was good/bad about it....
Great video thank you
thanks
Seems like you are among the minority who crosses the Alps via Brennerpass. Jana Kesenheimer as well. Not a bad choice to my opinion.
where can i find the banned routes link? is it public?
