1 week to go

Glenn, Mark and James depart Sydney tomorrow (June 6 - D Day) for San Francisco - the adventure really begins in earnest. The rest of the crew will converge on Tim's house from Thursday and we journey as a team down to Oceanside on Saturday.

The final touches are coming together. Bike lighting is agreed. Some small modifications to the racks for signage are needed and Richard is doing those. David - crew chief - has volunteered to be the sales rep for Australian sales of the racks. Vans will be picked up on Thursday and Friday. Friday will be a busy day fitting lights to vans; building benches inside the pace and frogger vans; wiring vans for computers; for public address; for music; etc.. And instructions gone out about being scent free - no musk please boys!

Meanwhile, RAAM organisation has sent out its launch press release - see it here.

And a big thank you to the first of the donations received through the team website - every bit helps.
