For those of you interested, my son Seth is one of the supporting mechanics for Team Mucho Gusto in the 2005 Race Across America or RAAM. RAAM is an absolutely outrageous bicycle race across the United States starting in San Diego and ending up 3000 miles and about eight days later in Atlantic City, New Jersey. They left San Diego yesterday.
20 hours and 43 minutes into the race, Mucho Gusto riders are near Prescott, Arizona 388 miles into the race, 2663 miles from the finish and are averaging 18.76 mph.
