RAAM on a Rivendell.

[lungimsam]

If I was young again, and an ultra-cyclist, I'd want to do RAAM on a Rivendell.

 

Maybe RBW would sponsor me with a special frame called the "RAAMbouillet" or something, just so their frame could carve its way through the sea of carbon fiber. High bars, longboard fenders, for the wet weather. I'd keep it light.

 

My crew would be well stocked and they would have orders to hand out complimentary neck braces, along the way, to all the cats with low-handlebarred, carbon fiber frames.

 

Just being silly. But I would really love to see someone on an RBW bike in RAAM. That would be great. I bet RAAM hasn't seen lugged steel for 20 years.

While I have no intention of ever riding RAAM, I'm proud to say that I RAAM-qualified on a racked and fendered Rivendell last year and I'm gong to do it again next month at the Texas Time Trials.

Of course covering 500 miles in 48 hours or less (that's the qualifer) is a world away from doing RAAM.  I'd suggest PBP in 2015.  Lots of Rivendells over there and plenty of older folks!  The best 87 hours and 10 minutes of my life.
