We Arrived in Greenup, IL this morning ! Boys are still strong despite two crashes ! Shawn slipped on gravel and crashed. Kiv crossed RR tracks and got his wheel wedged and was thrown... Despite all the drama the boys are fine! Working hard ! Trying to make up for the days when they could only run three. Jim has been burning it up. We have finished 2146.1 Miles and have 900.5 miles to go! STAY TUNED

Here we are in the Ozarks 6/16/07 16:12

Well we finally made it out of Kansas and did not encounter much wind. The boys are back to the normal rotation of two on two off pulls every four hours for hours 24 hrs until Atlantic City. We are happy to say we made up more time during these two time stations. The temps here are very hot! 98 degrees with over 90% humidity. We just sent Kiviok and Dan for their 4 hour session. Hopefully they can make more time. Stay tuned for more..... And check out the RAAM sight for more detailed info.

Team VMG RAAM Would like dedicate the grueling accent to our buddy Steele. This dedication comes as we the riders were standing on our pedals and thinking how hard you have to push to break tib /fib. Hang in there Steele.

Good morning good morning good morning Kansas, we jumped on the bikes and follow vehicle for the beginning of our 2am to 6am shift. I'v been looking at the back side of Jim's VMG shorts and it reminds me of a high reving four cylinder m series motor, his legs are pumping at well over 100rpm. HE'S BACK TO FULL FORM!!! and feeling great. Our boys last nigth pulled off a speedy shift shaving more time off Strong Heart's slight lead for third place. We seem to be around +/- 6min behind them. Hopefully we'll catch them today. Stay Tuned!
