The race in Joe’s words

The last couple of years have been building towards another crack at the biggest and toughest race of all, Race Across America (RAAM). 

2019 will be my 3rd time crossing that start line. 2012 was my baptism of fire. In 2014 I received the coveted Finisher’s medal and placed 2nd in my age category. This year, I’m going to race and I’m going to race for the overall.  That’s a bold statement and I don’t make it lightly. Bear in mind though that I’ve been steadily preparing for Race Across America since 2017. 

Sebring 24 hours in Florida was the perfect test-bed. Twenty-four hours on the TT bike on flat roads in heat and under pressure – nothing better?
