The solo winner set a new record of 3,000 miles in 7 days 15 hours. 

I know a lot of people that probably couldn't DRIVE 3,000 miles in 7 days.

As an 8 person team it would be quite doable.

Start with an easy 150 - 200 miler, you can work up to the 3,000.

:)

I did 100 miles as my first race - took me just about a year to get there...  It was really really hard.  As Greg LeMond famously said, "It never gets easier, you just go faster."

  You are truly THE MAN.

From your WLS beginning to your involvement in RAAM, you are such an inspiration.  Always a voice of reason, I respect your opinions and intelligence.  It's great to see the smile on your face and the dedication you have.  Rock on, dude!

Will do!  Hoping to dodge the thunderstorms this weekend and get 100 miles in to keep my streak alive this year - trying hard to earn a "Year-Rounder" badge from the UltraMarathon Cycling Association (100 mile ride each month of the year)...
