More Rider Info from the 4 day Camp..
Mark Newsome (Team Total Carnage) - 4 Man Team
During the 4 day event while riding with Ski and Mark, Ski remarked that Mark and he had most likely pedaled more miles of the RAO course then nearly anyone else. This kind of experience pays dividends on Race Day. Mark took the 4 days only slightly more relaxed but I'm expecting big things from the team total carnage on race day. Between his experiences at multiple camps, multiple RAO's, this seasoned veteran is a force to be reckoned with. I'm looking forward to being passed by the Carnage crew; Mark's always up beat personality was a real lifter during the 4 day camps ran squalls.
In the thank God they are not raceing solo at RAO catagory:
Urs Koenig (RAAM Solo)
I can't begin to express honestly how glad I am that Urs, is going for RAAM and not RAO. This Swiss steam engine, is faster, has more cruising power, and was unstoppable on the 4 day camp. The 4 day camp wasn't going to be enough miles for Urs, so what did he do? Ride to camp, yes, Urs a Seattleite, road his soft ride from Seattle to Portland, and then did the 4 day. Then on the 4 day Urs would add 30 - 40 bonus miles each day finishing with the rest of us. On the final day of the camp, Urs cracked the beam on his softride, even this couldn’t stop him! He just climbed up on George's co-motion and finished the day in style! I can't wait to watch Urs clean up at RAAM.
David Sowers and Mark Dooley - Southern Pride!
David and Mark were just a hoot to ride with, these guys are fast, and have great stories to tell, which makes it real difficult because it’s hard to listen to them when you’re going ANAROBIC just trying to keep up! I'm convinced that at some point David and ex army ranger got a leg graft from a Columbian climber. Wow, can this guy climb. Everyone at camp was just blown away by David’s speed. One second I would be riding up by myself and then the next second David would pass, and then I would get lots of time to watch David chill at the top as I made the summit. Mark an industrial baker, was a total power house in his own right too.
