I just wanted to take a moment to wish the best of luck to Jeff Bauer and Kevin Kaiser on their race across America that begins on Sunday, June 8th at noon pacific time from San Diego, California.
Their goal is to complete a 3008-mile race as a two-man relay team on fixed-gear bicycles. Once the race begins, they will have 240 hours to reach the finish line in Annapolis, Maryland.
Here is a word about their start time. Because they are a two-man team riding fixed-gear bikes, the RAAM officials have given them 240 hours to complete the race, rather than the new 216-hour team time limit. They will be starting out with the solo racers. Therefore, their race position is irrelevant to the other teams since they will be starting two days ahead of them. Their only competition is the clock.
If you would like to read about their progress, their crew will be updating a blog throughout the race at: http://teamfixedraam2008.blogspot.com/.
