Now, that the start of the race really gets close, family and friends frequently ask how they can follow us.
Already here, you know the our RAAM Website at raam2020.de (even if we had to postpone our start from 2020 to 2022, we did not change the address of our site).
Here, the whole team can post photos and text alike – for the benefit for all those stayed home. How intense they will post, most probably depends on the a couple of circumstances. After we left Europe for the American west coast the 12.06.2022 the whole team will have enough time to post impressions from the preparation until we start at the 18.06. After the start, the whole team will be in race mode. We will be busy day and night, keeping the wheels turning around, both those of the bikes as well as those of the cars supporting. Taking pictures then is not our top priority, but wait and see what will pop up there, perhaps especially from Ingar & Dag, our media team.
Live tracking
The RAAM organiser will equip each team with a GPS-tracker. The location of this tracker can be followed live via the official RAAM site at https://www.raamrace.org/live-tracking
On this site, you have several views and options to select what you see. Our Team Eurodrive will start in the RAAM (not the RAW, which is the Race across the West, is started simultaneously, but is only the first part of RAAM), as a 4-racer team in age class 50-59, the start number of the team is T402.

Note that the GPS-tracker might not necessarily be with the active rider on the bike at any time. It can also be in one of 2 following cars. When the car stops, the tracker stops while the rider might still be moving. And if you see the tracker going uphill at a speed of 75 km/h, the tracker will most likely also be in the following car transporting one other rider ahead to the next exchange rather than in the car directly behind the racer on on the road.
