Hey everyone! Thanks for all your comments. We are printing them off and reading them to Kevin on the road. We have had very limited internet access and just trying to keep his motor running. We'll try to update this site more as we get closer to Annapolis and we'll work on finding hotels with computer access.
He had an awesome day and Kevin is still the top rookie and top American in RAAM 2009. We crossed the Mississippi River around 3:15. In ultra racing this is considered where the race begins. Kevin is excited about his current place in the race and crunching numbers in his head throughout the day. For a guy that was worried about making the Taos cutoff he has turn things around and cranking the big ring across the USA. He went down for a couple of sleep and a big meal and was back on the bike around 6 or 7 en route to Greenville, IL.
If you get a chance take a look at www.raceacrossamerica.org and especially the solo blog they have on there. Click through the pages and they have a really cool article titled 'Kaiser passes Rees'. To see the stats click on the racers link and click on the live coverage leaderboard.

ReplyDeleteHey Kevin,
ReplyDeleteYour ride is really inspiring. We've had some incredible developments happen for the local cycling community. We will be hosting the 2010 IMBA Summit next May, and our Ironman Augusta 70.3 race will be the second largest 70.3 race in the world. Your ride is one more thing for the community to be proud of. Great going! Cheers to you and the team! - Randy DuTeau
