As I prepare to ride in the Race Across the West RAW Website, (in lieu of RAAM) this year.
I discovered this photo of our Team RAAM, Team4GONE from 2011. This was of course before the big accident in Arizona described in detail in another part of this blog.
This year I will be Teaming up with my friend Don Williams. He & I are members of the Valley Spokesman Race Team & have ridden together in the Furnace Creek 508. Our crew chief will be Tim Burgess who has been on my racing crew for several other races, again the FC 508.
In addition my 2006 RAAM teammate Lowell (Skip) Morgan will be part of the crew. I'm certain the Skip would prefer to be riding but he has unselfishly donated his time to help us out.
The Race Across the West starts in Oceanside California and finishes in Durango Colorado a distance of 850 miles & we have to finish within 66 hours. A tall order as there are quite a few long mountain climbs along the route.
