RAAM 2006 start?
 

Is anyone else planning to watch the start of RAAM 2006, Oceanside Pier, 09:00 Sunday 11 June? I'll be pretty easy to spot, with either the metallic brown / charcoal Bianchi, the red-and-white Capo, or the red-white-and-blue Schwinn mountain bike.

How many people are doing it this year?

I'd absolutely love to!! I've got several friends riding it this year ... on two teams, and I just took a look and noticed that I know one of the two solo females.

Bicycling mag just did a piece on them, that **** is crazy!

It looks like fun though, get a bunch of friends together and it's a raod trip!

Some road trip!! 3000 miles in just a few days!! Although ... the 4 person teams split that 3000 miles up and each ride about 750 which is pretty much like a 1200K randonnee.
