Pete And Wendy's standing's here
Created in 1982, the
Race Across America (RAAM) is now the longest running ultra-distance
bicycle endurance competition in the world.
This is not a stage
race like the Tour de France, where each day a set distance is covered.
In RAAM the gun fires somewhere on the West Coast (Oceanside, CA in
2006) and the finishing line is over 3000 miles away, on the other side
of the continent.
It is a bicycle race
from Oceanside, California to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Solo riders
complete the course in as little as eight days, while the fastest teams
finish in under six days. It is about ordinary people being great, it is
about realizing dreams, it is about being the toughest of the tough, it
is about taking the national stage for a cause that matters...
Wendy Gardiner and Pete
Masiel will be attempting the mixed couple Race Across AMerica (RAAM)
two-person team record in 2007. While Pete and Wendy did break the old
Furnace Creek 508 two-person team record in 2006; they finished 3rd
behind a pro team and former RAAM finishers.
