No matter how this all works out, who ends up on what team. That everyone interested in riding  finds  a way to ride.  I did the 100 mile solo last year that is a great option, you can still help a team through there race then ride your solo race making this the best of both worlds. We have to remember that we all are friends and one of our goals is to improve the image of recumbents.

No Terry, right now the only lowracers signed up are me and Mark.  Tim Woudenburg is currently considering it, and I'm trying to get one of the Chicago or Ohio nocoms to come ride with us.  
 
Basically I want that darned record.  I want to shatter that frigging team that beat us last year and just set a pace no one can ever hope to meet.  I'm in better shape than last year, actually, and I've figured out how to work my on-bike nutrition to avoid the sour stomach I had on my last 4 laps, which alone cost our team 10 minutes I'm sure.  
 
So I'm hoping I can get an all-low team, but if not, I'd love to see me on the tica, Paul riding the x-tream and Steve riding the f5 700, or perhaps even my carbent - I'm sure with a 17 pound bike Steve could fly around that frigging track.

The team that beat you set a course record for diamond frame bikes

They pedaled five hundred miles in. 24:24  
To beat this time every lap needs to be  greater than a 20mph average (giving <1 hour laptimes).

Did pedalling the 500 miles as a team (Reclining Flyers) get you fellows qualified for RAAM?

Rose and I have signed up as volunteers at TTTT. I would encourage those rbenters who aren't riding in TTTT to consider helping to put on the event as volunteers. As a rider last year, I certainly appreciated the work done by and encouragement gotten from all the volunteers. This is the only RAAM qualifying ultra cycling event in this part of the country, and it takes a lot of work to put it on. To learn more about volunteering, check out the volunteer page of the TTTT website. You can email Dan Driscoll to sign up as a volunteer.

500 Solo to RAAM qualify to keep the XS until your ride in next years RAAM?
