TCR N° 1
We followed Erik Nohlin and Recep Yeşil, both part of the developer team around the Specialized AWOL, on their idea to ride the first Transcontinental Race in 2013 from London to Istanbul within two weeks — overcoming more than 3100 kilometers, 30,000 meter of altitude gain and 14 european borders — unsupported, following a route of their choice.
It has been a wild and inspirational journey in so many ways.

TCR Book release 13 July 2026
Lost Dot has released its official TCR book
Transcontinental: The Race That Changed Cycling.
The book brings together stunning images from the photographers who have documented the race over the years, behind-the-scenes stories to give a true taste of the race from the inside, and in-depth essays from those who have been at the forefront.
Full of triumph and tragedy, the book is also a tribute to TCR founder Mike Hall, who died in 2017 while racing in Australia.
You can order the book here.
