RAAM is one of the toughest events in the world for all teams, riders and crew, on the road particularly in the desert there is absolutely no margin for error, our progress was fine and entirely on track with our race plan, one small miscalculation followed by other situations meant our race was over at the end of day 2, after which point we would have been out of the desert heat, one less challenge to deal with and still on track with our 10 day race plan. Out of the race, we continue to ride most of the RAAM route to bring a story home for our sponsors and to value their support as much as we can. The team are bitterly disappointed but our experience and learning's will make us stronger for when we come back or take on a bigger challenge......we will aim to post photo's to show our sponsors jersey's still in action across the US.
