Abandoned Railroad tracks

Check with Eric Winn he is going to one of the Ohio stops Athens if i recall walking up from my nap

Long day yesterday the mountains be hard on rider, crew, and equipment. Two dead derailleur motors, one LED headlamp, 5 radio antennas, van repair, 3 tires, one Carbon wheel. One mechanic's sanity. All riders safe and sound. Don't know the total $xxxxx but Continuing the race to #beatbraincancer...

Dead batteries. Which sucks it was a 4 person rotation and Maria and Jim started on their backup bikes while we did a parking lot repair on one and a side of the mountain repair on Jim. Maria crested the climb on her glamour v20 smiling ear to ear. " it's a hell of a lot more fun with four...

Sort of. The tracker is in the follow vehicle. But we never ever ever stop. So when the crew rotates we have to pass it rolling car to rolling car mission impossible style. If we miss it stays with that follow vehicle during the off cycle at the time stations which are often walmarts. We get...

Another long night about to be over. Waiting for Jim and Maria to finish in The monument valley area at 9:00am ram time aka EDT. Larry had the first flat last night. A front tire doing 35mph down hill. Tubeless tires on Boyd wheels did their thing. No crash just road it to a stop and got on...

RAAM Bikes 50/36 and 11-32T wax chains so far it's enough.... wax ain't melting in the dessert; and there's no grease on the team.

rescue crew about to roll.

Ok so for once I have just a few more minutes off duty to give you the scoop. The heat is getting to the racers we are waking kevin and larry and we are sending them backwards down the race course to meet the on duty crew. They will intersect south of flagstaff in about 1 hour 45min at which...

What your are seeing is that off duty vehicles have to take alternative routes; and Jim and Maria had to portage 12 miles by CAR due to road construction no race zone that was neutralized. Kevin and Larry crushed the morning climbing into prescott; they are recovering but they dug really deep...

When running and with cell coverage the 3000 miles tracker will be more accurate as that's a GPS device on each bike. The RAAM tracker is in the follow car which goes for gas, rotates etc. RAAM tracker watches when we cross TimeStations.To keep the trackers live we aren't shutting the off when...

Larry and Kevin are racing through Chibola now Jim and Maria will be back on the bikes between TS3 & TS4

That was the flip to night shift. Larry and Kevin are climbing their asses off right now; Jim and Maria resting for a big day tomorrow. Crew ate and got gas we are now racing to the 3am switch over before TS5 ... remember live trackers over on the donate page.

Makes the steer tube taller which raises the boom and that handle bars.

I think Abbott forgot to mention that he uses a stern riser as do several others.

A third hand tool is highly recommended for getting the cable tight enough. Also useful for zip ties. The stalk is sturdy enough for us on RAAM. You won't have any problems with it.

The new headrest attaches with velcro on to the pipes so that means it no longer interfere as it did back in the day when that thread was created; and yeah there where / are a lot of things that have evolved and been fixed over time. The latest round of thing that are trickling out on the...
