RAAM: Another update

Congratulations to Beaver Creek Team-Vail, the first four-man team to finish Race Across America. The team arrived in Atlantic City, N.J., at 11:26 a.m. EDT today. Team Schaffhausen is about 110 miles behind the winners. Beaver Creek Team-Vail averaged 22.07 mph and finished the 3,052-mile course in five days, 18 hours and 15 seconds.

Meanwhile, men's solo leader Jure Robic arrived in Gormania, W.Va., at 12:37 p.m. EDT today, maintaining his huge lead over Fabio Biasiolo, who arrived in Athens, Ohio, at 11:15 a.m. EDT.
How big is Robic's lead after more than eight days of racing? About 180 miles.

One male competitor and one two-man team have not passed through the St. Louis region yet, but you have to give them lots of credit for sticking with it despite the heat and humidity.
