In
the morning I received the new Race Across America kits arriving from Murray
Wilmerding
in the mail. I rode the Quintana Roo (QR) bike out and around to pick up
some last minute things including an Aero-Bar Bottle/Mount for the new QR Time
Trial bike at Orange Cycles in College Park and rear tail-lights from the
Compass Research. I said my goodbyes to Dr. Craig Curtis and thanked him for his
excellent support he has had for me with my cycling up to this point. I then
stopped by Retro City Cycles to get my water bottle mounted on the QR TT bike
and to pick up a new Giro Atmos helmet that I ordered last week, socks,
tail-light, and water bottle. I then said bye to the Retro City Cycles crew
including Jessica Kinnee, Dave Dodd, and Mason then headed home.

Lukic came

to the Oceanside Marina Suites where Dejan and I unpacked and organized our
belongings. Dejan and I ended up getting to sleep around 1:30 P.T. /
I slept in to
around 10am .Dejan and I ate the breakfast at the hotel including Danishes,
fruit, juice, and coffee. After breakfast I assembled the QR TT bike and got
some things out of the R.V. which Uncle Danny and my Dad drove out a week ago.
Next Dejan and I
did a workout routine consisting of the usual 6 sets of push-ups, 5 sets of
abdominal, and a good stretch. Danny, Dejan, and I then headed to a bike shop
called “Pacific Coast Cycles” to pick up Carbon brake pads and carbon
grease. We then headed to Subway in which I used one of the $20 gift cards
donated to my trip effort by a Missouri Subway. We then picked up a $100
amplifier and a $30 microphone each with warranty at Radio Shack. This would
later be used in the follow vehicle to play music and to speak with.
Dejan and I then
drove to the Oceanside Pier. Danny left the braking/parking lock on which I
accidentally did not turn off and drove the rental car with a funny feeling and
sporadic screwing noise. Dejan and I laughed as the screeching noise dominated
the sounds in the parking lot garage where we parked. Dejan and I walked on the
Dejan and I then
went on the computer back in the hotel room and made up a fake 6 foot 5 inch
woman named “Angela Simpson” to get my uncle stirred up and excited. He
would go on to think she was real and finally came to realize she was fake in
early July when Dejan and I would leave
After falling
asleep, the hotel box fan caused a nuisance and collapsed on the floor while
Dejan and I were sleeping. Dejan woke up alarmed and then we started laughing
hilariously because we tried many time to tie the damn fan down but it wanted to
move. Dejan and I would later notice more things around the hotel on the verge
of breaking.

The “Dan Crew”
(Dejan Lukic, Danny Chew, and Dani Bobbi Lee) and I headed to the Oceanside Pier
for the RAAM photos. Got the photos by the RAAM photography people and then
picked up more Hammer Gels and Endurolytes from the RAAM headquarters. I then
got an interview with a RAAM media guy named Andy Firchaw for about 20 minutes.
I then picked up a RAAM t-shirt, sticker, and bottle. I talked to the cocky
Brett Walker (Sebring 24-hour RAAM winner/480 miles) who said he was going to
ride the first 48 hours and then sleep 90 minutes. To me this sounds like a plan
to lead to failure and complete disaster before the race is even half over. I am
not sure of the circumstances but Brett Walker did indeed end up having to drop
out in
My RAAM crew
(Murray Wilmerding, Joy Potter, John Perezluha (Dad), Danny Chew (Uncle), Dejan
Lukic, Dani Bobbi Lee,) and I then sat through a 1-hour+ RAAM meeting which
introduced the RAAM itself and RAAM riders. We then headed back to the hotel to
eat a pizza dinner. After checking e-mail, Murray and I switched cassette
clusters on my Jamis/ QR wheels. I then got a nice 1-hour massage from Dani Lee
and went to bed around
Woke around
In the evening the
QR was picked up from the bike shop while Murray and Don McGhee worked on the
speaker system for the follow vehicle and also put sponsor stickers and banners
on the R.V. and follow vehicle. Murray and Joy picked up pasta, salad, bread,
and dressing meal from a nearby restaurant.
The remaining crew
members, all of whom I am not familiar with, arrived including: My half sister Kristen
Chernosky and her husband Matt Chernosky and Jan Beveridge.
I started to feel an un-easy with the lack of time to organize the R.V. and time
to organize and mingle with the crew members.
Later
in the evening, Dani Lee gave me a 1-hour massage. I was still adjusting to her
touch but thought she was going to do a really good job and bring along a lot of
good positive energy along with her. Afterwards Murray, Joy, Don, Dani, and I
discussed the procedures and routine to be expected on the upcoming RAAM. I
ended up getting to sleep around
With
the anticipation waiting, I felt a similar feeling like I did on the day before

We
already made our first mistake of leaving the QR bike in the R.V. after dropping
me off. I listened to music through the new Lady Gaga Heartbeat earphones upon
the start of the race. With the chaos of last minute preparations and
un-organization, I began to picture myself out near the
At the starting
line I gave Uncle Danny a big hug for this was the start of our 3rd
journey together. Whatever laid down the road in front of me did not matter
because I had a gut feeling in me telling me that I could count on Danny. I knew
he would be behind me the whole race regardless of the little things that would
drive each other nuts; I knew he would have my back from start to finish. Murray
Wilmerding, a key part of this journey and ultimately a very loyal crew member,
was also there beside me for the start.

around 7:15am Mountain Time. Started riding around
I
started to feel knee pain toward the end of the first day and during the start
of today. I started out with new Shimano Pedals and new
cycling shoes which was probably a bad idea. The idea of having brand
new equipment to start the race because it will take longer to wear out works
good for equipment like chains, brake pads, tires, helmet, clothing, and other
things. When it comes to the actual bike frame, shoes, and pedals, however,
these items should definitely be well broken in before the start of a race like
RAAM. With limited time to prepare, I did not really have a choice and needed
more than one bike and pedals in case of bike mechanicals. I began to worry of
how long the knee pain would last. The pain came only in the right knee. Before
leaving on the trip I was worried about a possible hernia/ groin problems in the
right leg which made me worry.
My
diet was all over the place for the first 5 days. I was probably overloading my
system with SPIZ, Outlast Energy, snacks, and vitamins. I had a lot of shit
stops for the first few days. The advantage to this is that I re-apply
As-master/ ointments I did not deal with much saddle sore for most of the race.
I also used a seat pad on both my QR and Jamis bike.
I took a 1-1.5 hour nap in the heat of the after

mountain climbs picked up near Congress, AZ. Here I switched to the Jamis bike
with no aero bars. I felt great while climbing and slowly began to find out

While
sleeping I woke up full of sweat and in a fury to find the air-conditioner off
and the fans off. My dad had accidentally turned the generator off which was
very careless. The sleep time is very essential and I can not be losing liquids
while sleeping. Most riders have I.V. fluid injected in their bodies to boost
recovery and fluid intake. I told myself not to let this get to you, there will
be mistakes made which my crew and I shall learn from.
My
placing slowly dropped but I told myself in the back of my mind; Keep doing your
thing; you are a strong rider, not a weak one, get your recovery and you will
kick some ass towards the 2nd half of the race. Be smart, treat your
body well, and do not irritate your knee too much. Have Patience! Ended up
getting to sleep around

vehicle panicked and took a good 15 minutes to find a headlight that worked.
Dejan and I organized the box of BikeRay lights before leaving and after just 3
days they already got mixed all around! I became irritated with the lack of
organization that started to arise. I ended in Mexican Hat, UT. The total stop

remove the aero bars off my Jamis bike. I easily passed the two riders that
passed me on the climb up to the 10,800 feet summit
(also the Continental Divide and highest point on route).
I also passed 2 additional riders on the way up which means I passed 4 riders on
the 8-mile climb up to the Wolf-Creek Summit. We hit the summit around

Riding on U.S. 160
was quite nice although traffic picked up at times but overall it was damn nice.
There was a nice tailwind most of the day. I hit 50 mph twice on the descents on
U.S. 160. Colorado S.R. 12 was nice and we climbed over
I rode neck and neck with rider #419 (Nicholas
Rice McDonald from this point all the way to
Just before the
nightfall hit, while getting the music to play through laptop computers instead
of my PSP or Walkman, Donny McGhee cut wires to 2 of the 4 speakers
which made me furious! The poor quality of the speakers and the boring long
stretch of prairie land through the nighttime started to get to me. I ordered
the crew to shoot off
fireworks that I had packed in the R.V. My dad was hesitant and then
finally agreed to shoot them off. Follow vehicle driver Murray Wilmerding became furious at the idea (Eastern CO is
very dry and RAAM headquarters warned riders about fires already going on in the
state) and drove his mother’s Subaru (the follow vehicle) towards crew members
standing outside the R.V. before slamming on the brakes just before hitting
them, and caused a big brouhaha. People on the crew then began to argue and we
almost had a breakdown. Murray Wilmerding had some bad past experiences with
fireworks and lawsuits.
At that point I
had to dig deep and say forget the fireworks to appease the crew. I told myself,
hey you just ride, forget about lights, forget about fireworks, just RIDE! The
crew has got you covered. I was getting quite irritated with the lack of
motivation and organization the crew was provided. Most of the time the R.V.
would drive too far ahead and people would not even get to cheer or anything.
The R.V. simply would park and the majority of the crew members would be
sleeping. It took a good hour to get into my zone and finally I thought about
what a stupid excuse it would be to tell people my crew broke down and quit
because I demanded fireworks. I reminded myself how boring and uncomfortable it
must be to be a crew member and to be glad their supporting you. Just pedal and
look forward to that Kansas State Line. After
the fireworks fiasco, more R.V. crew members did start getting out of the R.V.
and loudly cheering me on. Later
they would make signs and cover their bodies (some of which appeared naked) with
them to encourage me.
I took a quick stop and put on my Lady Gaga headphones which completely
block out outside noises and sound incredible. I finally got into a rhythm and
apologized for nuisance that was caused earlier. I then pondered back to my

I ended up riding
the first 100 miles in 3 Hours and 42 minutes, including the slow first hour/
warm-up hour of only 13.5 hours. I estimate that from miles 15-115 the time was
about 3 hours and 25 minutes. A near 30mph average for 100 straight miles! Danny
got me out of my rhythm by turning me down a wrong road briefly. We got moving
along again and before I knew it we were half way across the state. I did stop
in Ford Kansas to shit, change clothes, drivers in the follow vehicle, etc. I
had a rear flat tire heading east on U.S. 54. The next stop was in Pratt, Kansas
where I got a slushy and burrito from Taco Bell. After 200 miles with an
exhilarating tailwind, this really hit the spot.
Pratt
was where I intersected the return route of my Alaska trip with Danny in 2009.
One of RAAM’s biggest fans, Steve Strecker used to own a McDonald’s in Pratt
where he offered as much free food to any person associated with RAAM!
His McDonald’s became a time station, but when he sold his
McDonald’s, RAAM lost one of its biggest sponsors –Steve Strecker.
Although Danny & I stayed with him on our Alaska trip, Steve was out playing
golf, and was unable to catch up to me or my crew.
The tailwind remained and the road turned divided which I really like. It
was amazing. I ended up setting my new 100-mile record of 3 Hours 25-30 minutes
and tying my 12 hour record of 260 miles. In Maize, Kansas there was a detour. I
had to get driven 5 miles and then started up again. The whole stop and detour
dilemma was about 1-hour. I finally got started again and rode into the night.
One of the BikeRay lights stopped working and I got angry and threw it. We then
switched BikeRay lights/ battery pouches. My knee started to hurt again about 2
hours from ending. I sat down a little, drank a coffee drink, took an Ibuprofen,
and was moving along again. I blew past a rider and ended up finishing in
Eureka, Kansas. It was a great day and I probably passed about 8+ riders
throughout the day.
The R.V. generator
stopped working throughout the day. This along with the door being broken and
things started to get unorganized and thrown about left the crew in disarray. I
had a great day of riding and was not about to take a paper towel bath (like on
my Bob Trailer trips with Danny)
and sleep with out air-conditioner in the R.V. I insisted to go to
the closest motel. We had to drive ½ mile back to the Blue Stem Lodge Motel in
Eureka, KS. Murray and Joy got the
motel while Danny attempted to organize the crew. Meanwhile
Danny ate about 10 oranges and yogurt for dinner. People started to have
raving tempers including my Dad and Jan Beveridge who had the worst tempers on
the entire crew. I am glad I had Dani Lee there to calm stuff down. She was the
most relaxing person to be round when the crew started to flare up. I was also
glad to have Dejan there for he has witnessed times when my family gets into
fights and has raving tempers. We decided that Dejan, Dani Lee, and I would
share a room. Dejan and Dani Lee would sleep in the same bed together.
After
showering and getting a massage by Dani Lee, Uncle Danny came flying into the
room and says “I gotta blow, I gotta blow!” I know my Uncle, when he says
he’s gotta blow and is running about, he’s about to explode. Dejan was
finishing up in the shower/ toilet area and before Danny could land on the
toilet seat, he exploded on the hotel floor and attempted to make it into the
trash can on the way. Dejan, Dani, and I were irritated but also amused. “Are
you fucking kiding me?” I asked Danny. Danny’s shit stench made it hard for
the poor Dani Lee to give her massage in peace. Dejan being in the room for the
massage was enough and then throwing Danny in the room shitting on the floor
just made things worse! Danny and I look back in hilarious laughter on the
situation.
I was making good
time and was not about to let this R.V. bullshit and
Danny’s shit incident slow me down. I stopped riding around 12:15am but
finally got to bed around 1:45am. While sleeping the crew cleaned both of my
bikes extra well due to the heavy rain storm early in the day. The crew
continued using Dumonde Tech Chain Lube which worked very well throughout the
entire RAAM. It is not super thick so it dose not attract a lot of dirt and it
also smells good.

5:30am. Dani Lee was the best person in aid of the wake-up procedure. She helped
the getting-ready process by applying sun-screen and lubrication/As-master. Got
moving around 6:15am and passed a rider (#410 Donncha
Cuttriss) shortly into the ride. I then had a flat tire and then
passed #410 again, while passing him I gave him some words of wisdom, telling
him “Don’t you quit until the finish! We’re in this together! Keep Moving
Along!” We finally closed in on exiting Kansas and took a stop in Fort Scott
just before doing so.
The crew is
continuing to get sleep-deprived and irritated with one another. We got into
Missouri and Dejan started talking over the speaker for encouragement. I was
determined to make it to the capital city of Jefferson City but not past it,
but my crew wanted me to make it about 50 miles beyond JC so they booked two
rooms at a motel in Hermann. When my father heard I was only able to make it to
Jefferson City, he got raving about losing the reservation $, but luckily my
mother was able to get it back.
About 5 miles from ending on my Jamis bike, I accidentally jammed the
chain into the spokes of my Reynolds wheel.
It was so bad the crew couldn’t get the chain out, so I hopped onto my
QR for the final few miles into JC. Just like the past nights I told the R.V. to
go ahead to the motel/ ending spot to prepare dinner, post riding procedures.
Still when I finished riding the stuff was not ready. This is something that
should have been planned and discussed to save time. The average ending stop
time was around 6.25+ hours. Roughly 3.75-4 hours of sleep. This whole stop time
could have had 1-hour shaved enough and kept the 3.75-4 hours of sleep had
things had been more organized and planned out. At this point I tried to stop
hassling the crew for they knew what should be expected of them at this point. I
reminded myself that this stop time and recovery will only make me stronger on
the bike. I told myself “You’re doing awesome, just keep hammering away, get
your rest, and finish strong!”
I ended the ride
around 10:30pm , ended up falling to sleep around 12:00am. Ate at taco bell meal
and got another awesome massage from Dani Lee. She also began “tucking me
in” which made the transition from massage to sleep more smooth.
After this the crew created a nickname for me called “Baby Gaga”.

Approaching the
Mississippi River Danny got us lost and we also had to get detoured and had a
car-shuttle section. During the whole detour-getting lost brouhaha, tempers
started to flare between the two females on the crew- Dani Lee and Joy Potter. I
told the follow vehicle to tell the R.V. to go pick up Subway and have it ready
at the detour. We would then cross in to the EASTERN
TIME
I cleaned up in
the gas-station restroom and then got a quick interview from the RAAM media
crew. I thanked my sponsors, talked about the race, and got some pictures. I
then got shuttled in the R.V. north. The whole shuttling procedure was about
1.25 hours. During the R.V. ride I got a lackadaisical massage from Dani Lee. I
asked her what was wrong and she said she was ready to leave. She thought deeply
about leaving and abandoning us. I could not blame her; Being trapped in a
broken R.V. with disorganization, raving tempers, negative energy, and
unfamiliar people. I strongly convinced her to stay and told her what a great
job she was doing. I like her positive energy, her great massages, and her
unique character. She was one of the things I looked forward to at the end of
the day.
Upon leaving I had
come to the conclusion that Dani Lee was going to leave and said fuck it, do not
stress, keep moving along, other people can do massages, she is not that
special. Keep doing your thing. It is not like she has magic powers and other
people on the crew can not do what she’s doing. I said goodbye to her in what
I thought was the last I would see of her.
The tailwind was
strong and I flew past a 4 and 8 person team and then a solo guy. I was furious.
I kept telling myself: “Do not let the crew drama and bull-shit get to you,
all you gotta do is stay strong and
The crew informed
me of the media crew person Ernie Holly wanted to ride along in the follow
vehicle and do some interviewing. So Holly popped into the follow vehicle
(squeezing out poor Dejan in the rear seat) and filmed and recorded audio of my
crew and me. I felt on my guard and had to control my pissing whenever I felt
like it. I thanked my sponsors, did some stretches, and talked a little about
the race as I rode with Holly.
He was very impressed with my elaborate on-the-bike stretching
routine, assured the crew it would most likely make it into the final hour of
finished movie, and finally got out of the follow vehicle at the time station in
At the next stop in Effingham, Dani Lee had still not left which actually
made me happy because I felt bad for her due to all the shit from the crew that
she has had to deal with. She also had to deal with Danny and my demands and
silliness at times. She was doing a rock-solid job and I hugged her and gave her
a little kiss on the cheek and told her I was glad that she had second thoughts.
I ate a can of cold soup (one of many items Danny picked up at Aldi’s before
the RAAM started to keep from having to pay ridiculously high prices at
convenience stores in tiny little towns along the route), got a knee massage,
put the lights on the bike and then finally got moving along again. In the
follow vehicle was Jan, Dani Lee, and Dejan. Dejan convinced Dani Lee to stay.
I then had to deal
with a long section of rough road for a good 10-15 miles. I got excited when we
finally passed into Indiana. Just after this the damn follow vehicle got a flat
tire which wasted a good ½ hour of time. We finally made it to Sullivan,
Indiana in which we spent the night. Ended at
At
the time station in Sullivan, Uncle Danny (in the R.V. crew) stood outside the
entrance to the Days Inn Motel so that the follow vehicle & I knew where to
go in the middle of the night. After
the stop in Effingham I accidentally left my aero helmet at the time station in
Effingham. A 4-person team picked it up and dropped it off at our motel while we
were sleeping. Although some crew
members criticized Danny for not getting out of the follow vehicle every time I
stopped (he was fearful of getting sunburned), he did call my arrival time into
headquarters at all 55 time stations, and kept my mileage splits every 12 hours
on his “yellow sheet” much the same way he had crew members do for him on
all 8 of his RAAM’s. Also, in the
follow vehicle the most, he took good notes of stuff happening in the route
book.

Woke around 6:00am
ET and started riding around 6:37am. Got moving along quite nicely throughout
Indiana and felt better after the normal 1-1.5 warm-up hour and shit stop. I
then began passing more riders throughout the day. I passed rider #406 with the
huge “Rock Star” tour bus for his R.V. I finally was able to talk with him
and found out his name: Thomas Lavalle from the Sebring 24-hour race. His team
name is “The Children of the Fallen Patriots”. He also has some attractive
young girls on his crew which my buddy Dejan has told me about a few times.
After passing him I rode with an 8-person team and went through each of their 3
riders they had out at the current time.
Not only did
riding with the 8-person team help to bring me to life and wake me up, but it
made me feel better to know that other riders, even team riders, had problems of
their own including crew disarray and chaos. It was nice to know that I am not
only and there are other riders out there dealing with similar and even worse
problems than my own.
While motoring
along the follow vehicle got a flat. I was wondering what the hell was happening
so I had another team call my crew to find out what was going on. Jan Beveridge
turned into a raving lunatic and got into a fight with my bro Dejan. Jan ordered
me to pull over which I refused to do for I was motoring along and felt good.
A good buddy of
Uncle Danny’s named Ty Provosty of Cincinnati showed up
in Ohio on a motorcycle and helped support me for a few hours. This really made
my day. He was nice and full of positive energy. He also comes from a cycling
background and is used to driving a motorbike at road races. Ty and I ended up
getting ahead and avoided getting lost after stopping at a gas-station about 15
miles from Blanchester, Ohio. Ty bought me energy drinks, chocolate, and other
snacks at the gas-station which also really lifted up my spirit. Ty continued to
follow me to Blanchester.
Arriving in Blanchester, Ohio was quite the scene. Things started out
smoothly with time station people and RAAM Media taking pictures and cheering me
on. I was feeling mighty fine. Nice wind, body feeling fresh and not too bloated
or full feeling. I was in a good rhythm. I had my lights put on, got a little
knee massage, drank an energy drink and started rolling out with the RAAM media
congratulating me. ½ mile later my raving dad and other lunatics on the crew
followed me to tell me the follow vehicle would not start. I painfully got
driven back to the time station while the follow vehicle was getting fixed.
During the chaos I
did not get a relaxing chance to meet a very generous and kind-hearted lady
named Amy
McFaddin who was at the time station and wanted to help me in any way
she could. Amy was a stranger with a kind heart who said she was willing to
follow me all the way to Annapolis if my crew failed me. I apologize to the RAAM
media and supporters that had to deal with the lunatic and animal like behavior
my crew had at this time station. Ty and Amy really made my day.
Danny called RAAM headquarters, and while they were willing to let the
R.V. follow Steven at night, they were not willing to let Amy because her
vehicle hadn’t been inspected (for safety reasons) by RAAM officials before
the race.
I told Ty I really wanted him to stay to the finish. He would have if he
had planned it out better. Regardless, his few hours really made my day. While
Ty was following close by on his motor-bike, Jan Beveridge had ass-hole like
behavior and drove closely next to Ty almost threatening him by pushing him off
of the road. If it was up to me I would have dumped Jan off and had Ty replace
him right there. Ty seems much more loyal and would have been behind me more
during my Race.
Meanwhile, Dejan
and Jan got into brouhaha in the follow vehicle. After Ty left, I had to
painfully thank Jan for being on the crew and the support he was having. I
always told myself, I would take someone that doesn’t get a whole lot done
over someone with a raving-lunatic temper. Unfortunately
two of my hardest working crew members (my father who drove the R.V. the entire
RAAM route and night diver & while I was sleeping mechanic Jan) also had the
worst tempers.
We finally made it to Chillicothe, Ohio where we stayed at the
America’s Best Value Inn. Ended riding around 12:50am. Got to sleep around
2:00am.

I began listening
to Jon Lajoie over the loud speakers for amusement. I enjoyed riding on U.S. 50/
S.R. 31 on the road into West Virginia. I then switched back over to the Jamis
where the hills started to pick up. I really enjoyed the divided highway and
hilly parts of West Virginia. I rode past a 60 year old cyclist named Steven
Shia who was riding to Washington D.C. with
some support.
At my stop at the
time station in Ellenboro, WV I took a shower with a hose outside a gas-station
with Energy Shampoo and Conditioner. I also ate a chicken salad wrap at this
stop. Shortly after the stop I felt drowsy and sleepy. This did not last long
after I drank a red-bull and a 4-person team caught up to me. I stopped for a
piss then caught up to the 4-person team. I rode with each of the 4 riders and
then pulled away from them. I continued to feel strong throughout the mountain
climbs.
The 3rd and final crossing of my Bob Trailer trips with Uncle
Danny occurred as I was riding East on US Rt. 50 through the tiny town of
Fellowsville, WV. I had ridden
through there heading North on WV Rt. 92 on my ride from Florida to Pittsburgh
in 2009 before picking up Danny on our Alaska Trip.
I passed rider #392 again and then had to make my own stop and say bye to
the 4-person team. I quickly caught back up to rider #392
(Rainer Kiworra). I passed him and then passed #406 (Thomas
Lavalle). I felt strong all the way until the final hour where I got
a little chilly and dressed a little too warm and cozy for the final descent

I continued to
play the music through my GaGa earphones and mile by mile got closer to the
finish. About 30 miles out I started to see lights and more civilization. I
thought back to my memories on my cross-country trips with Danny and how
exciting it felt to be riding for miles and miles in the country and to finally
see a town with lights in the distance representing the ending destination for
the day. I started to feel relief and a high feeling take over. At last the
final hour is on its way!!! We passed the final time station in Odenton, MD and
I felt on like I was on Top of the World. I picked up the pace to about 25mph.
With about 1-hour out we had to take a quick stop to replace the battery pack
and get some chewing gum. I drank about 5 red bull shots the last 2 hours. I did
not care anymore at this point. This 3,000 mile race was almost over!!!!

I first ended about 6 miles from the official finish and then rode along
with a 4-person woman’s team for the final 6 miles. I rolled through the
finish line and got a bunch of pictures. Random people I have never met
congratulated me. I hugged Danny and went up on the finishing stage to say a
quick thanks to my sponsors. I felt pretty good. My body was a little physically
out of it but it was not that bad. I then devoured a subway sub and got a few
more pictures. I met Dani Lee’s father Jeremy and boyfriend Dave.
After leaving I ended up driving with Dani Lee’s father to the Double

RAAM Summary
The
finishing hours was some of the most remarkable feelings of any race in my
entire life. All of the struggles fights amongst the crew, disorganization,
countless hours of farmland, euphoric times, boring times; everything seemed to
come together and the bad feelings seemed to start to fizzle out. I kept telling
myself during the times my crew and I got in flare ups and were on the edge of
breaking down mentally: "Just relax, and know that once it’s all said and
done, all of this chaos and adversity will make the finish that much more
enjoyable". Once RAAM was finally complete, this was definitely true.
Murray Wilmerding told me when our crew was on the verge of breaking down:
"remember Steven, you came here with a purpose". The purpose being to
conquer my first RAAM and have a remarkable experience along the way. While the
finish of my RAAM was euphoric and gratifying,
I was not too thrilled about following a RAAM official vehicle to the finish
from 6 miles out. Just like at the 24-hour race in Sebring the overall crowds
cheering and supporting during RAAM and even at the finish line was pretty small
compared a Road Race, Criterium, or even Time Trial. At the time I was a little
bummed that it was not that spectacular of a finish. I look back and remind
myself of why people really race across
I got up on the RAAM stage and said a few words thanking all of my
sponsors. I could not have entered RAAM if it had not been for my sponsors. I
then spoke to the same media guy who interviewed me at the beginning of the
race. I gave him some words of my wisdom and told him how I like to be different
and how RAAM was one of my goals since high school. Cycling to
I was pretty proud of the results considering the last minute
preparations and lack of overall time to put the race together. If I were to do
this race again I would have to meet all of my crew members well in advance and
get them comfortable with each other. I treasure a life lesson learned on my
Just like my cross-country trips with Danny, we ran into problems and
adversity during the trip. Without the problems and adversity, the finish would
not have been as enjoyable. The RAAM was a good learning experience and
accomplishment that will stay with me forever.
I
realize that when writing this summary that I am thinking of the negative
aspects of all the money spent and wasted on certain things that Danny and I
hate paying for and feel like it is against or morals to blow money away on.
Putting money aside and resources being used up, completing RAAM is one of my
biggest physical accomplishments of my life. It was very stressful at times and
like on my cross-country trips I often thought to myself: “why am I doing
this?” I thought back to climbing up the cathedral of learning stairs for 24
hours, then to the Sebring 24-hour race. I had the same thoughts of “why am I
doing this?” while doing those. To make it through I blocked those thoughts
out and started to create checkpoints and though of mental motivators. I thought
of my favorite song “Move Along”. In all of my hardest and most stressful
physical feats I reach a point where my hope starts to get down, sometimes my
body feels really week, but I remind myself... this will come to an end...at one
point this will be over. You do not
want to look back with any regrets. Just keep moving along! Spill your guts out
here now and you will look back with not a thing to regret. Give it a 100%
honest effort and there will never be any regrets. You do not want to look back
and think: what if I had kept going or pushed harder? What would have happened
if I had kept going, going after my dreams. Completing RAAM reminds me to
continue to set my goals and dreams high and go after them like there is no
tomorrow. For what will come out on the other side will be the most euphoric and
gratifying life experience you will ever have. I will conquer this ready to take
on the world.
I
also remind myself that you have just completed something that very few people
on this planet will ever do. Be proud and look back on all the positive things
that came out of it.
My
Diet
Another
lesson I learned on my RAAM was to trust my body. This means not to pound too
much food and liquid into my system. Sometimes I told myself to just relax and
let the stuff digest. I used Murray Wilmerding’s pHit Pills consistently
throughout the entire race. I consumed an average of 2 extreme endurance pHit
Pills per hour. These pills help to reduce the lactic acid out of my muscles and
balance my PH in my body. My major liquid consumption was Spizerinctum, Gatorade
mixed with Emergen-C and Red Bull, Outlast Energy, Vitamin Water, and Red Bull.
Waking
up I enjoyed eating banana’s, smoothies with fruit and protein, coffee (Hot
Coffee, Starbucks Coffee Drinks, and Starbucks Double Shot Espresso Drinks. I
sometimes ate power-bars, cliff bars, protein bars, bananas, sandwiches with ham
and cheese, subway sandwiches, burritos, hot-pockets, and much more.
I
also learned that I must ride with the mentality that it is not what tastes good
and what the mouth taste buds want, but what is going to work well in my body.
What foods and liquids will go in and digest well and make me strong. This is
the Spizerinctum, the healthy fruit and protein shakes. As the race went on I
learned to trust my body, trust my crew, and Just
Ride!
My Crew
I
do thank and appreciate my crew and the help they had for me during my race. If
I had organized and met with each of the crew member’s well before the race
started I think things would have gone smoother during the race. Also if I had
organized my belongings including biking equipment, clothing, music, lights,
food, etc; into storage bins neatly labeled; the crew would have been able to
get at stuff conveniently so it would not have seemed like I was asking for
much. The R.V. and follow vehicle got so un-organized it became very hard for
the crew to find stuff and keep stuff together. I have to take the blame for
this due to the lack of time to organize and talk to the crew beforehand. I was
stubborn and dead-set on completing the RAAM in the summer of 2011 come March of
2011. While many questioned how I could put together all that was needed in a
short period of time, I was determined to make it happen and not prolong my
dream to complete RAAM another year. I should have pre-organized all the
materials and shown the crew where everything was. That way I would not have
been so irritated when it took much longer than it should have to get stuff I
wanted.
While the crew did all make it to the finish 3 crew members including
Dani Lee, Donny McGhee, and Jan Beveridge all left without saying respectful
goodbyes. This shows me their lack of loyalty, patience, and companionship. The
The other loyal crew members did indeed end up being the “Blondies”.

This included riding from approximately
If
I did the Race again and planned to win it:
If
I were to do this race again and hoped to win it my goal would be 3.5 hours of
sleep (About what I got this time,
3.5-4 hours), 1 hour going to bed/ wake-up procedure ( The going to sleep
procedure usually took 50 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, waking up 30 minutes to
1 hour 20 minutes; Total 1.75-2.5 hours), and kept the stop time down to around
30 minutes per day (The stop time while I was awake was around 45 minutes to 2
hours). This total stop time would have been about 5 hours per day. If
everything went smoothly and was organized this could have happened. If I kept
the same riding average of 17.8 and had an average stop time of 5 hours per day
instead of 8 my total time would have been around 8 days and 16 hours. 2nd
place and had I been so close to the winner I would have gone to chase him down
and cut down my stop time or sleep.
I would also go into the race with equipment that was well worn in and
would not cause knee troubles. My riding average for the first 4 days and
ultimately overall could have been faster (perhaps 18.0+mph) had I not developed
knee problems most likely due to the new equipment.
This
winning time could be possible next time if I were to:

My RAAM compared to my
Cross-Country Adventures
Finishing
the Race Across America felt great but it also felt like something was
incomplete. The entire race flew by compared to my past 2 cross-country journeys
with Uncle Danny. Danny and I self-supported ourselves pretty much for each of
those entire trips. Initially, the ending of the Race Across America was not as
euphoric and fulfilling as it was to end the 140 day and 13,769 mile Alaska
trip. As the months rolled on after RAAM I began to look back and think about
how proud I was to make it through and stress my body to its limits. The most
important thing on my RAAM, like on my trip to Alaska and back, was that I
learned to overcome the obstacles thrown in front of me, never giving up along
the way. After that journey I got to return to a home I was deprived of for
almost 5 months. I got to sleep my own home and got back into a live of
civilization with friends and family. After ending the Race Across America I no
longer get waited on and having support from my 8-person support crew. The
cross-country journeys also had a lot more interesting things happen and
interesting characters that we met. During RAAM I was not deprived of people,
lodging, family, and meals; however I was deprived of sleep which felt great to
catch up on after the race was over.
I challenged my body and made good time carrying a 120 pound bob-trailer
with all my gear on my cross-country trips. Danny and I each spent about $15 a
day on mainly food and occasional biking supplies. Most of the sleeping was free
camping, meeting strangers, or planned people to stay with. We did get an
occasional motel but only if necessary and the cheapest one we could find:
usually no more than $50. On the
Finishing RAAM
ultimately is not for money or any kind of material good or prize. Ultimately,
finishing RAAM and giving a 100% effort along the way is for one of the greatest
self-satisfaction feelings on the planet. In reality the $3,300 entry fee only
produces a handshake, a cheap medal, a t-shirt, a jersey, a water bottle, a
sticker, a meal, some gel packs, snacks; maybe a $300 value. Not much more than
one would get from completing a 26.2 mile running marathon. Maybe more sponsors
and doors will open up but overall the total expenses to complete the race are
totally not worth it. Nor is it worth making 8 people wait on my hand and foot
for 10 days in a crammed R.V. and support vehicle. To some racers this is their
biggest bicycling trip of their lives but to me I have already been across the
country 4 times. I have not been on some of the roads and seen some of the
sights I encountered on the RAAM but I might just as well have done another
cross-country trip with Danny and did the same RAAM route for about 5% of the
price of RAAM.
During RAAM, the actual riding without a 120-pound bob trailer was
enjoyable and I was finally able to test myself against the terrain trailer
free. I found out that I am a very good mountain climber. Most of the mountain
passes I have ridden previously have been with a 120-pound bob trailer. This
includes mountain passes from 4,100 feet on the
I am an
environmentally friendly and self-conscience person and felt kind of bad making
and R.V. and car follow me 3,000 miles across the country. Burning up all that
fuel for something I am perfectly doing on my own with a bob-trailer. Many RAAM
riders and crew also are probably oblivious to how much resources are wasted in
RAAM. In addition the gas and oil, many crew members will likely waste hundreds
of plastic bottles, forget out re-using plastics, and carelessly waste many
other materials all to support someone biking across the country. With an R.V.
and mini-van and a plethora of space compared to a bicycle with a trailer, there
is no reason to waste so many resources and forget about recycling and saving
stuff.

The
remaining crew (My father John Perezluha, Murray Wilmerding, Joy Potter, Dejan
Lukic, Danny Chew) along with my mom and grandma attended the finishing RAAM
banquet. Dani Lee did show up but left because her boyfriend felt uncomfortable
and I did not agree to pay her for the massage. I am thinking the boyfriend was
jealous and did not like the fact that Dani Lee watched as I walked around the
R.V. and motels naked then got massaged naked, then got ointment rubbed onto my
balls and crotch area. Also Dejan slept with her and I slept in my own bed in
one room. She also supposedly felt
uncomfortable around Danny. Considering I did not know her at all to start nor
did she know the rest of the crew; I can see her feeling of freedom and escape
after being trapped in a cramped and broken down R.V. with eccentric people and
raving lunatics. She also seems to be easily influenced and persuaded by others
and seems to be a follower and has somewhat superficial feelings. I think her
friends, especially her boyfriend, persuaded her to leave. Hence she did not say
bye or stick around for the Banquet.
We
enjoyed a delicious meal and I met and mingled with other racers including the
winner Christoph Strasser, Thomas Lavalle, Rainer, Kiworra, Donncha Cuttriss,
and more. Dejan and I saw the girls who he said he thought were cute throughout
the race. My crew along with RAAM media got a lot of pictures. I got the “Jure
Robic Award” which was a rock stacked up on a wooden base. I drank a glass of
Red Wine which is very rare for me; only 1-2 days in the year do I do this.

those who attended my RAAM fundraising banquet on Thursday May 19th.
Also Special thanks to all of those who donated on my StevenPerezluha.com
website. Your help was greatly appreciated. No amount is every to low.
You’re all amazing!
Another
very important aspect of RAAM was the help from cycling friends, supporters, and
sponsors. I learned to be thankful and appreciate all of the help and support
and realize that ultimately I could not have completed RAAM without my sponsors
and support. There always seem to be people behind me that support me on my
goals and dreams. It is these people that keep me moving along and give me that
extra spark to help me reach my biggest dreams and endeavors.
If I did it would leave me broke. I also thought to myself that this is a
great learning experience and step up for bigger things in life. Organizing
sponsorships and endorsements is something professional athletes deal with for a
living. RAAM was a great learning experience and step on a big ladder in a
future professional athlete’s career.
About Race Across America 2011
The Race Across AMerica (RAAM) is an approximately a 3,000 mile coast-to-coast bicycle race from the Western United States of America to
the Eastern United States of America. My Uncle, Danny
Chew, has raced in it eight times and won it twice. The race consists of
bicycling as much as 22 hours a day and sometimes over 350 miles a day for 8-11
days. Unlike the Tour de France, where the riders get plenty of sleep, the
clock in for RAAM never stops. The Race Across AMerica costs quite a lot of money, usually around
$15,000-$20,000 and requires much sponsorship. This is due to the long length of
the race (3,000 miles), the entry fee, the hiring of race officials, food
supplies for the racer (riders eat about 8,000-10,000 calories a day), food for
the 8- to 12 person crew, biking equipment, and much more.
