Hi Everyone, Next week Race Across America will leave from Oceanside for the 9th consecutive year. As we have done for the past few years, we will be providing volunteer escorts to go along with the Solo or Race Across the West racers from the pier area to the San Luis Rey River Trail and out to College Blvd on Tuesday, June 10 starting at noon. We will offer the same escort function for the RAAM teams on Saturday, June 14, also starting at noon. The riders/teams will leave at one minute intervals and be limited to taking at least 25 minutes to get to College. Any rider or team getting there before 25 minutes will be placed in time out until the 25 minutes are up. This will discourage racers from riding recklessly fast on the trail, which will remain open to the public. If you can maintain an 18 MPH average for this 8 mile parade start with a likely tailwind, then please take a look at the attached start times and choose a racer or team that you would like to escort. Many of the teams and racers are from foreign countries so if you speak another language or your relatives came from another country, please look at the racer bios on raceacrossamerica.org and then e-mail me if you want to do this and, if you have a preference, who you would like to escort. Please feel free to post this on club web sites, Facebook, or anywhere else as we have always had more racers than escorts, especially on Tuesday. Riders who have done this in the past have had great, or at least memorable, experiences and really enjoy the opportunity, then going home and checking on line to get the latest results as their rider or team races across the USA to Annapolis, Md. Thanks! Pete Penseyres
