For and on behalf of Cycling Time Trials under their rules and regulations
Thanks to all helpers. Especially time keepers. Mike and Marion Fountain, and Mark Scanlan (Didcot Phoenix) Their support was much appreciated for our first open.
It was a tough day with a strong westerly wind making it difficult all the way to the turn. Congratulations to all who made it through the headwinds and sidewinds.
Excellent time by Jon Simpkins ( www.drag2zero.com) to win overall. Hope to see you next year. ~ Tejvan

Photo-gallery June 2021:

In the gallery below the participants of this year's Month of Cycling share the photos and inspiration from their rides in June 2021.

Igor from Skopje, Macedonia is participating in TransAm Bike Race (around 6500 km across USA, from West to East Coast, self-supported race). TransAm started on June 6. It was supposed to happen last year, but was postponed to 2021 due to Covid-19.

Follow Igor's progress on race's tracker page: https://transambikerace.com

In a self-supported bike race, participants have no helpers and no organizator's support except on the checkpoints. They must cover the distance between checkpoints on their own, finding their way, buying food, take care of their gear and booking accommodations "on the way" to sleep a few hours. Igor did a few such races in Europe, this is his first in America.

Information about the participant on TransAm Bike Race's site.

Igor on the road, the first day of the race. In the first 6 days Igor cycled an average of 200 miles (322 km) per day. Ten days in the race, after passing the highest peaks on the course, Igor had an average of 194.6 miles (313 km) per day.
