RAAM update

As of the time of this posting, only the two top teams in the Race Across America, Beaver Creek-Vail and Team Type 1, have reached the Mississippi River at Alton, Ill. Both did so about 8:20 a.m. CDT today.

They are moving so fast that they've already completed the 46-mile leg from the river to Greenville, Ill., the Beaver Creek-Vail four-man team made it to Greenville at 10:20 a.m., while the top Corporate Challenge team, Team Type 1, clocked in at 10:24 a.m.

The top solo rider, Fabio Biasiolo, arrived in Marthasville, Mo., at 7:08 a.m. Saturday, while David Wyss arrived there at 8:47 a.m. UPDATE: Biasiolo arrived at the Mississippi River at 11:45 a.m. He's averaging 13.8 mph for the race and averaged 14.95 mph for the leg between Marthasville and the river. Wyss arrived at the river at 1:27 p.m.

Good luck to all the competitors as they pass through the St. Louis Metropolitan Area!

Hi:

Found your blog on Technorati searching for RAAM. Thought you'd be interested to know about my friend Bryce, who is a competitor in the RAAM Singles Enduro division, currently in 5th as of this writing.

I'm doing the updates for the site and trying to keep things fairly current.

Great blog, keep up the good work.

Regards;

David Carter
