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!Last edited by Pedal Wench; 05-23-2011 at 07:19 PM.

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?

Our team did great -- it was the two-woman team. I had a blast, the women were amazing, and I'm committed to crew again for another team next year. It was insanely exhausting, but crazy-fun!
