Well, for better or worse, I did it. I registered for RAW (Race Across the West). Had been thinking about doing it since the inagueral year, but 1000 miles on a bike? Ride a bike from Oceanside CA to Taos NM in 90 hours or less? It was just crazy enough to be considered!
In 2009, I was part of Mike Wilson's crew for RAW. It was a great experience. I learned a lot, met some great people, but after the race, I did not have THE ANSWER . . . Hell yes, sign me up for next year or why would anyone even think of doing that? Well, like many things in life, there was no obvious answer.
Then RAAM announced that the race was being shortened to 860 miles. Now that was more manageable!?! It was the push that got me off the fence. I had my answer . . . Hell yes, sign me up for next year!!!!
