I'm jealous of those of you who live near the route! Sounds like a fabulous time!
There is an all women's team and - of course- lots of female solos this year. That's really great to see.
I don't think there are any solo women racing RAW, though - and I'm not sure one has ever finished.
that's right;) http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/raa..._Entry_ID=2506Quote:

and a 4 woman RAW team (http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/raa..._Entry_ID=2599) who finished today:D
RAW? I did a quick search for it on the RAAM site, and on Google, and didn't come up with much. Is this something separate?Quote:

Barbara did get passed By Jure Robic. But she supposedly held the solo men off longer than any other solo woman
Thanks for the photos! I've been enjoying all of the coverage this year - such a cool event!
Has a solo woman every finished RAW? I can't find that one has...
I was on an annual trip to NM and on my way back to CO earlier today saw an officials' vehicle...I was just ahead of riders going over La Veta Pass. Darn! Didn't know anyone was close otherwise might have figured it out. Official was nice, talked to me about how everything was going.
Got lucky a few years back and saw rider/support vehicle headed up this pass, pretty cool. See very few riders in this area usually, let alone with RAAM!
The teams should be coming through shortly
I had a fabulous bar-b-q dinner at Kalyra (Ka-Lye-ra) winery when I did my bike camp in Solvang.Quote:
