Curve history at the TCR
Curve have a rich history at this historic race. We've had bikes at the pointy end of the TCR for over a decade. After his eventful ride to 4th place last year, after riding over 300km further than the winner, Abdullah will be returning with vengeance to Transcontinental No11! Here at the Adventure Dojo we can't wait to be following along Abdullah's dot as he takes on this epic race. Expect BIG things. You heard it here first!
We can't mention the TCR and not mention Kristof Allegaert! The ultra distance cycling legend himself. Three time winner of the TCR and most other ultra races on the planet.
We've also had Friend's of Curve, Xavier Massart and Matt Falconer take on the TCR on their Belgies. This race is the pinnacle of ultra distance racing on the road and we hope to see even more Curve's out there this year! If you're interested in how to setup a bike for an adventure like this, here is a handy video from our friends over at G!RO Cycles on Matt's Bike, HERE
This year we will be part of making history! In TCR No11, The Lost Dot is aiming to more than double the size of the womens field, aiming for 100 riders. With our very own, April Drage lining up (and taking some Friends of Curve with her) we are thrilled to see this huge leap forward in the ultra cycling community!
