You have to check out each team's web site though the RAAM organizers may provide some notes about particular teams providing video once the race gets started. There are usually some photos posted each day at the race web site.

Duh... If I'd Google'd, I would have probably found the site for RAAM. Thanks for the link, SadieKate

RAAM's website is supposed to have increased coverage this year. We've been instructed to email Perry (the media guy) if we have anything to report...exciting, or not...lol!
As someone mentioned I'm the crew chief for Team Beat Cancer, a two man team. We leave on Tuesday (solo riders leave Sunday) at 2:00 p.m. We will have daily updates, hopefully more often, with pictures on our blog, so please check in everyday to see how George, Rick and our crew of twelve are doing. I'm George's primary support person, so while he's riding, I'm in the follow van and I should be able to blog often.

Our team will also be doing updates on http://www.thefredcast.com/ at least daily, possibly more often.

Thank you! We're very excited to update people along the way. We have an amazing photographer on our crew and everyone has been instructed to snap as many pictures as possible. Our flickr badge is on the upper right corner of the sidebar, so be sure to check there everyday for additional pictures!

Rest? Who needs rest?

I have been forewarned that I need as much as and possibly more sleep than the crew so that I may "maintain my rational decision making abilities on day 5+ when everyone else is cracking"...words from a two time RAAM veteran. 
I'll get lots of little naps whenever George is sleeping, then I will get relief once a day for a big chunk of sleep when our rider support relief person takes over for a 6 hour stretch. That should be plenty. <~~~she says now.
