Race Across America rolling across country, no Lancaster team
June 18th, 2009 3:01 pm · 1 comment
The first riders began the 3,000-mile Race Across America this week and unlike last year - and, hopefully, next year - there was no Lancaster riders registered.
Last year, Team Cycle Smart, led by local bicycling advocate Mike Ridgeway, did the epic race. Ridgeway said the two-man-two-woman team is sitting this one out. They plan to regroup and train for the 2010 RAAM, Ridgeway said.
Along with training of the riders, RAAM requires extensive volunteer help and logistical support from crew members who drive vehicles and support the non-stop race.
The first solo races left Oceanside, Calif. on Wednesday afternoon. The winners are expected to arrive in Annapolis, Maryland, on Wednesday, June 24.

I promise it won't be the first or last time a Team from Lancaster does RAAm friends, it's a great adventure but also has raised large chunks of money for outstanding charitable causes in it's 25+ year history. Thanks for posting the event and I encourage everyone to follow the race even just a little bit. |
