The Fixies Rocked!

Big time congratulations to Gran Fondo Fixies, Jeff Bauer & Kevin Kaiser on their successful completion of RAAM 2008.

When they rolled across the finish line in Annapolis today at 7:46PM EDT, they became the first to complete this year's 3000-mile ride across the country. With an average speed of 15.35 mph, it took them 8 days, 4 hours and 21 minutes to complete the west to east crossing - all on fixed-gear bicycles.

They and their crew should be proud of this tremendous accomplishment. The Gran Fondo Fixies are the very first to complete RAAM entirely on fixed-gear bicycles. This is a finish that people will talk about for years to come.
