Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

What a race :3,043 miles race across america , a 8 riders team type 1 set a new avg. Record of 5 days ,16 hrs ( 136 hrs ) with an avg. of 22.36 mph. :eek:
finishing a nearly a full day (22 hrs) ahead of the second-place team.:) check out at www.raceacrossamerica.org (http://www.raceacrossamerica.org)

Ok just joined your forum today and what better fitting day to do so as I just received my UMCA plaque for finishing RAAM as a 4 man team(Team Cyclonauts). No we might not have been 1st but finishing the race after one of our riders crashed very early and then him coming back riding strong is what RAAM is all about. Yes for me finishing Team RAAM was pushing through a new frontier and now thoughts of Solo RAAM or at least some solo racing as I sit here looking at my award.:) :) :)
