RAAM Post 34: Good Morning America!

Well, it's actually just 11pm here if Efingham, Ill.  We are at TS 37 awaiting the arrival of our compatriots--the Killer B's.

As you know, we have two team--A and B.  They are remarkably well-balanced on whole.  But in the view of this blogger, the B's are our stronger team.  Just by a tinch.  Of-course, they are considerably younger than we the As, but we take solace in the fact that we are way better looking.

Awayways, while we've been asleep, the B's have been staging an epic war akin to our battle in Monument Valley with the Cops and as of TS 36, we have moved into 4th!!!!!!

In fact, we have an 11 minute lead.  they started 8 minutes before us, so we are just 3 minutes in front of them on the road.

Our team will be riding for about 195 miles--should be 9-10 hours and our task will be to try to maintain or even improve our lead.  We were able to improve it by 3 minutes last shift so we are capable.  Of-course, our opponents have at least 2 separate teams as well, so who knows.  At the very least, if we lose time, we must keep it to a minimum.

It's going to be intense tonight and there is a pretty good chance we'll be neck and neck for the final 860 miles.  Fasten your seat-belts as we are rounding the far turn!
