Default RAAM on unis?


Team cutoff is 9 days. Average of just under 14mph.

Ouch

From my other post though:-

If you could get allowed to run an 8 man team, but start with the
solos, it's 3000 miles in 12 days = 250 miles a day which is harsh, but
definitely doable.

You'd need 8 people, who could happily ride 32 miles a day at 11mph
average. There are probably loads of people at RTL who could do that -
the top teams were riding at over 13.5mph average, so it'd just be a
matter of training up to be fit enough to do it for 2 weeks solid, and
getting used to sleeping at funny times of day. It'd only involve
riding 3 hours a day per person, loads of us have done 6 hour days of
riding for a week, which is surely almost as hard?
