Dear EZ Biker, I see RAAM (Race Across America) is almost here and yet I don't see hardly any recumbent sites talking it up as yet? Are no recumbents in it this year? Signed JanJan, Thanks for your email and interesting question. I liken this to cyclists showing up for a weekly ride event. Usually you don't see hardly ANYONE until the last few minutes the event is to get underway. ;-) For the 2008 RAAM event only "1" recumbent entry has been seen so far; which is Bacchetta's John Schlitter, competing in the solo cyclist division, starting out using a Carbon Fiber Aero, with 2 Black Corsa's as backup.
The word that's going around in recumbent land is that the 2009 RAAM event will probably see NUMEROUS recumbent manufacturers competing. Watch for more updates as the event draws nearer!!!
Solos Start Sunday 12pm (PDT) - Teams Start Wednesday 2pm (PDT)
Update - 6/8/08 - Link And additional links below. :-)
