View Full Version : RAAM bent -70 mph

The Human Powered Vehicle team, ALS Lightning, arrived as
expected at 12:52 this morning. The team of Bob Fourney,
James Kern, Sam Whittingham, and Tim Woudenberg fell short
of their goal to break the record set in 1989 by then Team
Lightning including current team member, Bob Fourney. For
having just crossed the continent in five days, seven hours,
52 minutes and on very little sleep, the team seemed
unusually upbeat.

"The look that people gave us when this thing went by them
at 70 mph was totally worth it," said Fourney

Actually, one of the team's riders - Sam Whittingham -
currently holds the HPV record at 81 MPH. That's on the
flat, with no wind, and no drafting - http://www.wisil.recu- (http://www.wisil.recu-/)
