    That's awesome, Carol. Good luck to the team. I hope they have a safe and successful race!

    Woohoo! I'll look out for you guys! Our team is RAAM Boomers. Say "hi" if we cross paths!

    edit: I'm not joining the crew until they get to Colorado, so don't look for me earlier!

    edit, take 2: and I think we're still looking for another crew member, so if it sounds like the best way to spend your summer vacation, lemme know!

    The only thing we need is how to figure out how to pay for it. We've actually gotten a few donations but since we are not a non profit group it's tough. We're all pitching in. It's really our dream

    Well, we came in fourth out of 32 four-man teams, so as rookies, we feel pretty good. At least two of the racers are planning on doing it again. I'm still undecided. It was an experience of a lifetime that I'm not sure I want to repeat...

    That is so fantastic! I met a man at an organized ride on Saturday who says he's involved with organizing the time stops. I'm not in a position to do it yet, but one day I'd really love to crew for a RAAM team, or be involved with the nuts-and-bolts side of it somehow. Once you've caught your breath, maybe you could give us a narrative of your experience?

    Congrats!

    I may want to pick your brain a bit. I might be crew next year for a team my friend is getting together.
