For any of you RAAM fans, there's a new book out that covers the history of the race. Just Google - The United States Of Delirium. Pretty interesting read.

    the winner of the first two RAAM's,Lon Haldeman,
    insisted on riding frames built by Ron Boi.
    I had Ron build me a frame four years ago.

    ...yes crazy does help. Got into it through a friend who was the crew chief. I watched our rider race 300miles plus everyday and I still couldn't believe what I was witnessing...
