Trevino moves into 3rd Place
Mike has just passed Chris MacDonald to move into 3rd place overall. According to the ever analytical Byron Rieper, Trevino is about six minutes ahead of where he planned to be at this stage. He’s maintaining just about exactly 20 minutes behind race leader Juré Robic after about 10 hours of racing. The other Slovenian, Marko Baloh is just about 10 minutes up the road. Even more amazing is the three leaders are staying very close to the two fastest eight man teams that are only riding 492 miles. Better to be chasing than to be chased at this early stage of a long -- very long -- ride. Fasten your seat belts, RAAM is just getting heated up – and it’s got nothing to do with the 100-degree temperatures and 8mph headwind they’ve been experiencing all day through the California desert. This is racing!

Michael,
Just want you to know that we are rooting for you in Canada. Sending positive energy your way. So proud of you and I know you can do it!
love ya,
Stacey Carr
Robic's .36mph faster than last year's splits. But what I don't remember is what kind of winds and temps you had.
In any case, he rode 20.5mph on the way to Hope. Pete was at 19.76mph at 224miles in '86.
I only analyzed Pete and Robic's rides. But then, you already know what Mike did last year.....
