RAW & 2-Person BLOG
The Race Across the West is considered as the toughest part of the World's Toughest Bicycle Race. At just over 1,000 miles contestants from all over the world, will battle heat in the deserts, climbing in the mountains and an intense pace to get to the finish line in Taos, New Mexico. There are solo riders, 2-person and 4-person teams competing. View Blog
RAAM Solo BLOG
The solo men and women racing RAAM come from all walks of life, all age groups and represent countries in North and South America, Europe and Africa. The "race of truth" knows no shortcuts - 3,000 miles in a single stage is not for the faint of heart, body or soul. View Blog
RAAM 4-Person BLOG
A highly contested field of racers battle for supremacy with such a large field (at time of this update 17 teams) the winners will be those that are fast in the saddle and supported by seamless crews who set-up each rider exchange without delay. If you stop moving forward all other teams are gaining 1 mile on you on an average of every 3 minutes. View Blog
RAAM 8-Person BLOG
n RAAM 2008, a group of 8 racers from Norway showed up and stole the show by setting an overall RAAM speed record. Pride is very high in this division and the competition is intense. Like 4-person teams the 8-person division is intense. The "new" RAAM takes teamwork to very sophisticated levels. Watch them fly! View Blog
