David here, ground support. I've been in communication with the team and they have gathered equipment, vehicles, and personnel, organized it all and are headed in the direction of Oceanside. Everything sounds well with no major crisis at this point (hey, it's RAAM, never count out a crisis). Last I heard they were passing Gilroy and threatening to put Michele out of the van an make her ride....nah, they wouldn't do that would they???
The team pictured here: Left to Right are Andre, Tanner, Michele, Adrienne, Mandy, Winston, and Chris

Seriously the team seems to be coming together very well. Great attitudes and a lot of raw talent. Michele is in very good hands. The team is especially happy with the rental vans they received and have them ship shape. A dozen days on the road living in the vans and that becomes very important.

I will make post as I hear them from the team and maybe a picture or two as it works out.

Crew desired for 6/6- 20, 2010 CA - MD

Hi All Please forward this to anyone who may be interested. I am attempting Raam solo again but am required to have 6 crew for support. My solo ride across america taught me a huge amount that I want to put into practise in 2010. My ride was a privelege that I would not have been able to enjoy had I got to Anapolis this year. I learned that I can ride in the snow even if it be cautiously. That I dont go as fast on my own as when I am against a clock. Kentucky was the one state I call wildly wonderful that I did in October. November I cycled with my triathlon Team Sheeper from Palo Alto to San Diego and used my one long weekend chance per month hence completing in December in Yorktown and having snow and a friend t o meet me. Thanks to each follower of this blog for all your support. Michele

DecaI Ironman Difference 2012

Hi followers and Friends I am off to my next great adventure for 2012 in 48 hrs. Thanks to so many for making it possible. Thanks to ROcktape for being such a generous and enthusiastic sponsor, I look forward to some fun performance taping and victories.  This is a ten day event with a choice of ten charities that friends and followers can donate to. If  you dont want to donate money you can swim 2.4 miles each day for ten days or run for ten days in a row or you could even do ten cycling spin sessions, one per day. Here are the links to the charities. Thanks to my friend Tanja who is helping me formalise my events to benefit charities across the globe. Support me in my bid to complete the Deca-Ironman by contributing to one of these 10 charities. Help  make a 'deca-difference' in the lives of children around the world!

michele's update

HI All incredible supporters I write from the rain of Pagosa Springs. Raam is a journey very different from any other I have been on. It has not finished in fact I think it has just started but will take longer than just 10 days to complete. I never knew I could stay on a bike while pedalling so slowly the last few miles. I will write more once we are packed and I can think a little more clearly. I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciated their support and look forward to supporting IJM more during this journey and giving my corporate sponsors some more exposure. Thank you sincerely to my crew for getting me this far. Michele
