2004 Race Across AMerica (RAAM) to air on NBC this Weekend:



The Insight Race Across America is pleased to announce a two-hour NBC Sports

airing of the 2004 edition on Saturday, January 22, 2005, 2:30 p.m. - 4:30

p.m. EST (check your listings for any local variations). Legendary sports

announcer Jim Lampley & his production company are responsible for getting

RAAM back on network TV for the

first time since 1986. Lampley was the announcer for the first five

transcontinental bike races from 1982-1986 which made two-time winner Lon

Haldeman a household name. Eric Heiden who helped announce one of those

broadcasts, will be

returning to RAAM this year on a 4 person Team.



Look for George Thomas and Terri Gooch, Co-Directors of Race Across Oregon

and The Built For Speed Time Trial Series who competed and won their

division this year's in RAAM, racing under the name Team

Velowear.com/Co-Motion.

Other interesting riders in 2004: Slovenian Jure Robic who managed an 8 day

9 hour crossing, sleeping less than 90 minutes a day. Or Team Grand Pac

Masters--a four man team whose average age was over 70! They decimated the

previously existing record finishing in an amazing 7 days 16 hours.
