I just checked Brandy's blog (very nicely done, btw - she has quite the talent for writing!) and George posted this:
"I didn't know what to expect but I know now that I think it would be easier to do Solo RAAM"
Oy, poor Brandy.

Brandy's blog has been great - Team Beat Cancer has really been inspiring. I'm still following Kerry White too via the RAAM forum - she's riding unofficially and should finish tomorrow.
RAAM definitely deserves TV coverage, and improved coverage from the cycling press, and a much better website. It is thrilling to see "everyday" athletes, and their crews, do such an amazing thing.

Didn't CBS do a special on RAAM in the last year or so?
(Altho if it's the program I'm thinking of, it was very disappointing - it went waaay overboard on the human interest to the point of being sappy. I was calling it "RAAM on Ice"
)

Congrats to Team Cancer! And thank you to Brandy for helping us to experience RAAM vicariously. It was so cool to read about the guys riding through western Md and up into Pa, and know that they were passing through areas that I'm familiar with.
I hope George and Rick get plenty of rest now!"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
