Race Across America: Nice Story


If you haven't been following the Race Across America, now is the time to get caught up.

Team Type 1, which gets a lot of attention on here for its men's and women's professional teams, has an eight-rider team in the race that consists entirely of athletes who have Type 1 diabetes. Not only are they winning, but they have a chance to better the record set last year (five days, nine hours and 43 minutes) when they were pushed into second place for the first time.


The team's blog has all the latest news. And if you only read one story, catch the one about the impact of a special trip that was made to catch up to the team's crew car in Missouri.

Personally, I am disappointed by the lack of

flaming roadside pictures.

(But seriously, it’s been fun to follow the RAAM. Going to try to catch some of them on their way through.)
