"Adding on days on top of days, I feel it sometimes, but it's nowhere near what I went through last year with the constant attention I had to put on it. This year I'm able to wake up and ride. The road has continued to get better for me, just like I knew it would."

RAAMM
RAAM - 6-20-16 - Vic
Prior to the start of this year's 35th edition of the Race Across America (RAAM) there were a number of ultra-endurance bicycle racers that fans were touting as possible contenders, but few included rookie Pierre Bischoff on their list. The 31-year-old has been at the front of this year's 3,068-mile race, having taken the lead starting in Arizona. As of Sunday evening he was riding in Missouri, with the second place rider about 60 miles behind. But there's still over 1,300 miles to go before Bischoff can claim victory in this race from Oceanside, Calif., to Annapolis, Md. Expect Bischoff, or whichever rider manages to catch him, to finish sometime Thursday or Friday. Watch the race's progress at www.raceacrossamerica.org.
