RAAM Update - 6-18-2024

SECOND PLACE KAUFMANN IN OHIO
GETS MOTIVATION FROM HOME
Athens Ohio
June 18, 2024, 8:11 pm ET

After several days of being among the solo riders from fourth overall back, this evening RAAM Media One has made its way up to the top three. We’d found third place Dominik Meierhofer (Austria) earlier. And now we’ve spent time with second place Lukas Kaufmann (Austria).

We found Kaufmann several miles beyond Chillicothe, Ohio on Highway 50, a twisting, narrow 2-lane punctuated with short climbs. When we first found the young Austrian, a farm dog was running out at him. But the pooch was just bluffing—he stopped at the road edge, and seemingly satisfied at having chased away the skinny guy on a bike, he trotted back toward the house.

Kaufmann met us with big smiles and thumbs up. It’s amazing how good he looks for having ridden over 2,500 miles. That he’s still able to trim a few seconds by standing up and powering over the hilltops is impressive.

Earlier, when we were back with Meierhofer, his crew was first playing music, and then a recorded voice—a voice that sounded like 6-time RAAM solo winner and record holder Christoph Strasser. Just before catching Kaufmann, we learned that it was indeed Strasser. One of Kaufmann’s media crew, Martin Behrens, told us, “We are in touch with Christoph—with ‘Straps’ as he is called in Austria. He is supporting these two Austrian riders—Meierhofer and Kaufmann. He sends us messages, and some motivation. He also asks, ‘Hey, how are you feeling and things like that. We play it over the speaker to our rider, and we record Lukas’ answers back.

Second place Kaufmann is now just 4 miles from Athens, Ohio and his mileage tally is 2,547. Our leader, Jimmy Ronn (Sweden) is 74 miles ahead, after having held a lead of over 100 miles. There’s still a lot of ground to cover before reaching the 3,065-mile mark on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. This is an exciting final miles for this 43rd edition of RAAM.

LEADER KAUFMANN OUT OF THE ROCKIES
June 14, 2024, Trinidad, Colorado, 12:39 pm ET

Race Across America rookie Lukas Kaufmann (Austria) continues to lead and holds over 50 miles on his closest chaser. This morning he and his crew enjoyed the beauty of the “Highway of Legends,” the scenic route between La Veta and Trinidad, Colorado. He’s now on the high plain east of Trinidad where each mile gets more Kansas-like. He’s covered over 1,135 miles so far.

After enduring severe heat over the past few days, Kaufmann’s will see a high of about 78F/25.5C. However, that weather may come at a price. There is a possibility of wind and hail in his vicinity today.

KAUFMANN THROUGH DURANGO
Durango, Colorado
June 13, 2024, 4:31 PM ET

RAAM Media One followed Race Across America rookie Lukas Kaufman (Austria) here in Colorado. Moments ago he passed through Durango, Colorado.

After two days in the desert with temperatures of over 100F, today is relatively mild at 88F. Still, his crew kept themselves busy and their rider cool by using a garden sprayer to wet him down as he passed.

He seems to be enjoying himself on his "American Vacation"

RAAM 2024 MORNING REPORT
Blythe, California
June 12, 2024 10:03 am ET

It’s a relatively cool morning here in Blythe, California, where the temperature is just 78F, and the weather prediction for the day through the Arizona desert that the riders will pass through today, calls for “only” 100F—relatively cool by RAAM standards. We’ve seen up to 120F through this section.

Leading the field this morning is Team Steinberg Coaching VolleLotte, a Race Across the West 2-person team made up of Melanie Baumann and Steffi Steinberg, two very fast women with a wealths of ultra-endurance experience. They’ve put in over 360 miles so far and are currently approaching Congress, Arizona. Behind them by about 13 miles is the 2-person age 50-59 team, “The Scorpions.”

The leading RAAM rider is Lukas Kaufman (Austria) who has tallied about 340 miles, trailing him by just 4 miles is Jimmy Ronn (Sweden), with Dominick Meierhofer (Austria) just 5 miles behind him. In RAAM terms, these 3 RAAM rookies are neck-and-neck. Each of these European riders came to the United States hoping to bring home a RAAM win. Will these three stay this close over the next 2,700 miles? What a great finish that would be—a 3,040-mile match sprint!

Fans at home are probably asking, “Is that really age 70+ racer Valerio Zamboni (Monaco) at mile 309?” Yes. Solo men in the age 70-79 category are allotted more time to finish (13 days, 5 hours), and are given the option of starting at 5 am instead of noon, which Valerio opted to do, giving him a head-start of approximately 7 hours.

HOW HOT IS IT IN BORREGO SPRINGS?
“We had 42C/108F degrees today!"

Borrego Springs, California, the location of RAAM and RAW Time Station #1, is a popular place for RAAM and RAW racers to get acclimated to the heat they’ll have to endure in the first days of their race. Currently there are several riders and team members in the desert community getting acclimated to the heat so they’ll be better able to endure the high temperatures of the first couple of days of RAAM and RAW.

Among those is RAAM rookie, 29-year-old Lukas Kaufmann from Kronstorf, Austria. A few days ago he shared a few details of his time in Borrego Springs, “We had 42C/108F degrees today. My GARMIN Edge 840 Solar always has more battery at the end of the training than before!”

The current weather forecast for June 11, the day of the RAW start and RAAM solo start, calls for about 39C/103F. If that holds true it will actually be comparatively cool by Borrego Springs standards. In 2021 the RAW and RAAM riders arrived to 50C/122F!

🌊 Heartbreak at Oceanside Pier 🌊

As someone who’s called Oceanside home for 28 years, the Pier has been more than just a structure—it’s been the heart of our community, a symbol of our coastal bliss. It’s welcomed countless guests to South Oceanside, offering them a slice of our paradise.
Yesterday, on April 25, 2024, at 3PM our beloved Pier suffered a devastating fire. Witnessing it engulfed in flames truly broke our hearts. Thankfully no one was hurt. A huge thank you goes out to Oceanside’s brave firefighters, lifeguards and police, the Coast Guard, and many other agencies that helped. Amidst the sadness, we want to share some of our favorite memories of the Pier, captured through our lens. These moments remind us of the beauty and joy that the Pier brought into our lives.
Let’s cherish these memories and look forward to the day when we can once again walk the planks of Oceanside Pier, breathing in the salty air and feeling the warmth of the sun on our faces.

3️⃣ Money Matters: Avoid the awkwardness! Discuss budgets upfront and create a group budget. It’s the best way to keep everyone on the same financial page. 💸

But here’s the golden rule: 💬 COMMUNICATION IS KEY! Whether it’s about plans, preferences, or problems, open dialogue makes or breaks a group trip. Share your thoughts below! 👇
