65 Days & Counting....

We are a mere 65 days away from the start of RAAM, for us anyway.  Things are starting to come together on all fronts. 

Our crew is finally coming together.  We have our five full time crew members who will be with us the entire race.  Then we have four crew members who will be joining us for the first leg of the race.  Those crew members will swap out with a fresh four crew members in Durango, CO.  Well, we only have two of the four slots filled at this point. If you are looking for something to do in June drop us a line.  Then is St. Louis those four crew members will swap out with another four crew members.  We still have one spot to fill out on the leg.  We still have some work to do, but we are definitely in a better place than we were previously.  


We continue to add to our stable of partners and sponsors.  Below you will find a current list of partners/sponsors:

Cincinnati Bell

Nokia Networks

Neltner Small Batch

Juniper Networks

Fujitsu Networks

Kevin Daniel

Mendon Cyclesmith

Adtran

Pivot Realty Group

The Necessary Entrepreneur Podcast



Everyone continues to train.  Training is at the point where your legs should be sore every day.  I know that mine are.  We need to be prepared for the PAIN!  Be prepared to be uncomfortable. 


Last but certainly not least, we are making starting to generate donations to our charity.  We could always use more!  Please be sure to check out the Ohio Valley Chapter of Huntington's Disease Society of America.  You can donate to our cause by clicking here!

The Adventure Begins in 89 Days

No update for over a month!!!  Well, COVID knocked me down, but not out.  It has definitely had an impact on my ability to train, but I am getting stronger by the day.  Enough about me though. We roll out for Oceanside 89 days from today.  There is no turning back at this point.  We continue to plan, gather sponsors, and train!  Honestly, the training part is the easiest part of the equation.  It is the planning and logistics that are a NIGHTMARE!  At least for a team full of rookies.   We have a crew chief, Jo Anne Pennington.  A rookie crew chief to go with the RAAM rookie riders.  Jo Anne has stepped up big time and volunteered for this massive undertaking.  We can't thank her enough.   She has been hard at work on logistics, booking hotels, and going over about every "what if" scenario that we are going to encounter during the race.   On the sponsor front we have been busy.  Please be sure and...

Get to Know the Team: Darrell Pitman

Name:  Darrell Pitman From:  Cincinnati, Ohio How long have you been cycling:  I got my first bike as a Christmas present at 5 years old and have been riding since.  I started my biking career when I was five and made use of it when delivering newspapers during my grade school years.  Advance forward about 20 years, and the family and I would ride together while vacationing in Hilton Head Island during our annual thanksgiving vacation. The trips to and from Harbor Town and South Beach were more fun on a bike and we would stop occasionally to check out a sun bathing alligator.  One year, feeling adventurous, the kids and I decided, ok I decided, to find the Baynard Ruins.  Spoiler alert, not much to see.  I bought my first road bike about three months before joining my friends for the Ragbrai trip across Iowa, as I decided that it was time to upgrade to a multi-gear road bike. I have now done that a couple of times and look forward to RAAM. ...
