My coach Jill Gass and 3 of her awesomely strong teammates, Sonia Ross, Lisa Tonnello and Avalon Jenkins-Balker are getting ready to roll this weekend. Their website is www.TeamKalyra.com - they are the only women's 4 person team I believe. It's their second try to break the existing record for Jill,Lisa and Sonia - and it's Avalon's first RAAM. Brutally hard, both for the racers and their support crews out there on the road! The Kalyra RAAM team is raising money for Girls Inc with their RAAM ride. Very cool! Tokie

I had a fabulous bar-b-q dinner at Kalyra (Ka-Lye-ra) winery when I did my bike camp in Solvang.

I saw the signs for the RAAM route through Oxford and Trenton, OH today! Apparently, they should be coming through in the next four days. I didn't see anyone today, but I'm considering camping out on the route to give some encouragement!

Unfortunately, some bad news. Looks like a rider was hit by a car in Kansas and has been taken to the hospital. They're not giving a name or much other information yet, but this is from one of the Wichita TV stations:
