A friend of mine is doing solo RAAM this year and I’m updating his blog with daily updates. Check it out here. While I’m not crewing for him this year. I twice crewed for his two-person teams (in 2001 and 2002).

Thanks for posting
.
My pleasure. It’s a hellish race, for both rider and crew. I give those guys so much credit.
Not to hijack the thread, but I wanted to keep the RAAM talk going. Here is an fascinating article/interview with multiple RAAM winner Jure Robic:

Robic is PUNISHING everyone again this year. Dude is an absolute machine. After 24 hours he was almost 100 miles ahead of my friend Ben 7/8th placed guy and first American. Unreal. His dong must be made of Tange Prestige Steel.
Yeah I’m totally cock posting, but here’s some live footage of my boy.
Good stuff…thx for posting…I have been privileged to see some of these folks riding thru our fair city (Durango, CO) while on the way to my job. Major kudos to the riders and teams !
Ben loves Durango. Passed through there a couple of years ago on the way to InterBike.
