RAAM & the TeamType2

Yeah, our good buddy Denny Voorhees of Sayre, PA will be racing across America in June with seven other racers all of whom have Type 2 Diabetes. And just to be sure it's tough enough, he's gotta do it on a DF. Ouch!

Luckily Den's got the right stuff.

And speaking of the right stuff, Tommie Blecher has stepped up to the plate.

Each of the racers in the team has to recruit 2 people for support crew and our man Blecher has answered the call. Traveling in a van for 7 days across America, helping with driving, navigating, spotting, cooking and etc. Sponsors for the team provide enough resource so that transportation to and from the race start and finish, accommodations and food for team support members is paid. Den's still looking for a number two.

If the dates didn't conflict with the R2k, I'd seriously consider it. Sounds like a hoot!

Well, we'll be pullin' for ya, Den! And you know you'll get plenty of sympathy in this corner for your sore nether regions!

Petition Google

This petition asks Google to add a "Bike There" function to their maps search tools.

Google offers a Drive There option of course, and with their Take Public Transit There option, they clearly have thrown in with the idea of promoting eco-friendly transportation alternatives.

What better than alternative than by bicycling?
