More updates!

15 hours into the RAAM and we’re not doing too bad !! Around 2 and a half hours ahead of schedule and are settling into the routine fairly well…..
I haven’t had any sleep yet and the adrenaline is keeping me going, currently in the pace car navigating after driving the RV from Berrago Springs CA to rendezvous point somewhere on the 78 highway. Straight into the graveyard shift in the pace car driving from midnight until 5am….it’s now 06:11am and I have been promised a couple of hours sleep when I finally get out of the pace car which should be in 3 hours or so making it a 9 hour stint looking at what a cyclist with his head down and his ass up, not really how I like to spend my time, Maximum speed I have driven in the pace car is around 30mph and min speed around 5mph, the cyclists are generally averaging around 18mph which is a superb effort given the conditions they have been riding in.

Currently on route from Blythe CA to Salome Arizona for time station 4 then heading to Utah then up to the rockies at around 10,000 ft you gotta love the rockies !!!!

Will update further hopefully if and when I get some sleep…..the most sleep the riders has got is about an hour and they still manage to get on the saddle and put the hours in horrendous conditions so have the upmost respect for the Caledonian Chain Gang.
