Conditions: Hottest, coldest, windiest Last Chance yet? On a summery, moonless night, 14 riders - our largest field yet - headed out from Boulder for an adventure on the vast plains. Weather was pretty much par for the course: balmy breezes off the Rockies wafting the riders out, then stiff crosswinds on the plains of Colorado and Kansas. Arid conditions during the day; thunderstorms, tumbleweeds, and a tornado threat in the evening. Highs in the 90's under cloudless skies; lows dropping into the 30's the final night in Colorado. As in years past, riders praised the smooth, quiet roads, and the friendly drivers and inhabitants. This helps to balance out the very challenging nature of this event. This year saw our first tandem - Mike and Nancy Myers. We also had riders finish in RAAM-qualifying time - Todd Kalchbrenner, Mark Metcalfe, and Nancy Guth. Big thanks to Dave Buzzee, former Ohio RBA, who came all the way out here to help staff the Byers bagdrop, and John Hughes, former Utah RBA, who came from nort
