I was a last minute addition to the crew for Team Skipper, a 4x Race Across America team. We begin the trek across America today just a few minutes after noon. (racers start at noon in one minute increments, and at the time I'm typing this I don't know our exact time yet)
You can track our progress at http://trackleaders.com/raam18. Team Skipper is T422.
With any luck, we should be across the country in about 6 days.
Solo RAAM racers, and all RAW racers began on June 12 and are well on their way across the continent. With luck, we should catch many of them.

A beautiful day for a ride
Alas, I am knee deep in Race Across America preparations. I got a last minute assignment to help out Team Skipper, a 4 person mixed RAAM team. I had navigation files all finished for Race Across the West, but now found myself scrambling to add another 2100 miles of turns, time stations, warnings, and track information in less than a week. I've still got a lot of work to do, but took a quick trip on the fixed gear bike to grab some lunch.
It was 82 degrees with 32% humidity as I pedaled out. The temperature was about what it was everyday in Panama, but the humidity was only about 1/3 of what it was down there. It was a very comfortable ride that I wish I could have stretched out longer, but RAAM mapping calls.
