It is not a secret that I love cycling and the Race across America. It is the race that has changed my life. I participated in it nine times as a competitor and two times in another role (once as a crew chief and once as an official). On every one of those races I have learned something new about the race and myself. I want to use that knowledge to improve my best result in the race. My best time is 9 days and 2 hours and I am certain that despite my age I am still able to improve on my best result. My goal is to join an elite group of ultra-cyclists that managed to finish the race in less than 9 days. Can I win? All I can promise is that together with my crew, we will do our best. RAAM victory certainly would be the highlight of my cycling career.

So, we are going to RAAM, my 10th participation in the toughest cycling race in the World! I will do my best to have my best race ever and to show the young lads how it is done.

You can be a part of my RAAM, too. Help me raise the needed budget by sponsoring one of the RAAM Time Stations. Check the details HERE. Thank you!
