We’re publishing this episode on June 9th – a week before the start of the first ever virtual Race Across the West (vRAW) and virtual Race Across America (vRAAM). While there’s a lot to do to get ready, not nearly like what we and the crew would be doing getting ready to pack up two vans and physically head out to Oceanside, CA on Thursday, 6/12 as originally planned!
So, what goes into getting ready to race 945 miles with a little
over 83,000 ft. of climbing in 92 hours or less on a bike? On a
trainer? In the basement?
Listen in as Caryn and Rick discuss the very cool virtual cycling
platform FulGaz where all of the magic will happen, training
leading up to the race, including some of the amazing test rides in
7 different states, Rick’s race and nutrition plans, Caryn’s role
as solo crew and a little about planned in-race social media
activities and how to follow the vRAW leaderboard and track Rick
from the start to the finish!
