Reflections of a RAAM crew member
This year's Race Across America is almost wrapped up (only two riders left on the road as I write). The Corvallis Gazette-Times has an interesting article about what it's all about, by a crew member of one of the two-person teams:
The mysteries of RAAM are always in the why.
It is especially confounding to a sedentary nation, revealed with frightening regularity this past week in the prevalence of overweight and/or over-smoked Americans, whether the locale was the onion fields of California's Imperial Valley, the speedboat-streaked Lake of the Ozarks or the coal mines of West Virginia.
"They're going from where? ... To where?" was the common question, uttered with incredulity.
Invariably, in the many times we were approached in restaurants and filling stations, the next question was how many cars were in this race from San Diego to Atlantic City.
