Last Prep Day

Erin: Today has been the last day to prep for tomorrow's official start to the RAAM 2010 race. Michele and her crew have attended informational meetings designated for the crew and the racer. All of these meetings discuss rider safety, where they talk about how some roads can become narrow and somewhat dangerous. Michele's crew decided that the entire team would greatly benefit from attending the meetings together. Her crew chief, Sara has pulled together an amazing group of people to be apart of Michele's crew; They are doing everything in their power to ensure that Michele has a safe and utterly successful race. Rider safety is the highest of priority throughout these long and intense races; Sara and the rest of the crew have assisted Michele in gathering all supplies and equipment needed to get her to the finish line.

Michele is pumped up and ready to get on the bike and start pedaling. She has a top of the line crew, equipped with two sports-massage therapists to ensure her body stays strong the entire race. Let's all wish her the best of luck and hope she reaches the goal she has set for herself. GO MICHELE!

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

Day two on RAAM

The sun is up on the racers and Michele has reached Time Station 4, Salome, AZ. Michele arrived at Blythe, CA Time Station this morning at 5:15 am (again, raam time EST) which is on the Arizona / California boarder. 2 am local is a good time to ride through that part of the country. Michele arrived 24 and 30 minutes behind the lead two women racers (Janet Christiansen and Daniela Genovesi respectively)in Blythe. As of right now the RAAM website shows Michele checking in at Salome, AZ TS 4 at 10:10 am with a total mileage of 293.7 miles for an average of 15.98 mph. This reflects a drop in overall mph but is no doubt a reflection of a short sleep break. The other ladies in the race have either not checked in at TS 4 or RAAM does not have their times in their system. So Michele may be leading the field of solo women at this point. They still have a very long way to go but so far it looks like Michele is riding a good strong steady race. The best way to reach the finish line. Ad...
