Well BROL RAAM coverage is fairly quiet, with the exception of your truly that posted the penalty story there. BUT I see that the Bacchetta Forum has some good RAAM 2008 news updates! Check em out!!!

NO penalties (So far) for our RAAM 2008 Recumbent Hero, John Schlitter!!!

2008-06-12T18:47:00.002-04:00

For some reason I tend to find the penality section interesting reading. And so, our Recumbent Hero John Schiltter is doing RAAM 2008 penalty free!!!

Hummmm, John Schlitter with "ICE VEST"...

2008-06-09T19:50:00.003-04:00

From the BROL RAAM thread I pulled this photo of John Schlitter in Arizona, with what someone noted: An Ice Vest! I did a Google Image search and found a lot of them! Humm, could be a nice item to have in South Florida Heat... if I ever decided to ride in daylight... ;-)

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 Jan
Jan, 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. :-)
