Steve is racing RAAM on a 4 person team
May 13^th, 2012, 8:47pm

Steve is going to be racing RAAM ( Race Acrossed America). Steve had been an alternate on a 4 person team. Last week one of his team mates blew out a knee and now Steve is a racer!!!!!!

As a racer, Steve now most come up with quuit a few big ticket things. One being a one way ticket out to California June 13, and home from Baltimore, sometime around June 25th.

Is there anyone in our club that might have air mile points that you would be welling to donate!!!

Thanks,
-Peggy

Thanks Greg, Its bitter sweet, we feel so bad for Allan cry

.
Most of the things he will need are going to be bike things, We need to get his 650c CA 2.0 back up to race speed.I will be taking it to PCF on Tues for an overhaul. We bought him Zipps for his 700CA2.0. Tiers, tubes, Infinit to get him accrossed the country. A sport tub( we already bought) to ship one of his bikes home. A wheel box to ship wheels in.
Most of this we have already taken care of.

I'm so proud of him!! I"m so glad I'm part of the crew and be there with him!!!

Steve has Zipps for his 650 and now for the 700. We are hoping he will not even need the 650c bike, it's just a back up bike. Peggy

Peggy - Does that qualify as an awesome Mother's Day Present, or what? Why don't you tell the Forum what team Steve will be on and a little about the riders and support crew.

Congratulations Steve. You can come and filter through all the stuff we have and use whatever you need. You've trained increasingly hard over the past 5 years and deserve this opportunity to exhibit your skills.

WOW! Thanks all for the outpouring of support. I'm truly humbled. Paul, love the picture. That was a short 5 years ago, huh?! Smiley

Ray, Nelson, Bud, Greg...I think of all the rando rides (all those "K's) in the heat, wind, TX chip seal, dog chases, bonus miles...all the good times. And Peggy has been through all the up/downs. Smiley

The recumbent world will be well represented at RAAM and RAW this year. Bacchetta has 2 four person teams and When we have SK( of Team Bacchetta) attempting ( completing) to be the first recumbent women to finish race acrossed the west.There will be a lot of pretty CA2.0 bikes out on the roads of America this summer.
