American Ben Popp crossed the finish line in Annapolis at 4:35pm on June 28. The journey took him 11 days, 1 hour and 12 minutes. He averaged 11.39mph!
His goals were to complete the race safely and to do it in 10 days.
Well Ben did finish it safely and unfortunately he didn't do it in 10 days, but he can aim for that next year. He rode a solid race. Had battles with Clarindo and Newey throughout the race.
He is a Solo RAAM rookie finisher. It's an amazing accomplishment!
Ben can be proud of his effort. I am!
Ben took a few moments to talk on the phone with his 3 year old twin boys. "Okay, I love you too. Daddy's gotta go now." Vic Armijo photo
