Since no one else has posted anything about this yet, I think I will.
Upright teams bested both recumbent teams in this year's RAAM and
undoubtedly that will serve to fuel future arguments regarding which is
the faster platform ... the upright or the recumbent. Rregardless,
congratulations are in order for a very respectable showing by Team
Bacchetta who convincingly defeated the so-called "fastest stock bike
in the known universe". Now, Ed Gin, Johnny NoCom and the rest of the
unruly MONKEYS rather than having something to crow about will have to
eat a much deserved portion of crow instead. I'd suggest that a big
piece of humble pie be served up for desert. For the time being at
least, no one should not have to endure any more VeloKraft ... NoCom
nonsense. The rabid NoCom zealots had their opportunity to put up or
shut up and now it is time for the latter. The RAAM statistics
(http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/Default.aspx?tabid=151) speak for
themselves, so there is nothing more to add, but NoCom-ment ;^)

Not to put too fine a point on it but recumbents DO hold all of the
outright speed records. Pretending that this year's RAAM results
somehow clear the issue up isn't very helpful. -

I won't vouch for your greatness, Ed, but I'll endorse your POV on RAAM.
They're a bunch of self-obsessed idiots on a suicide mission as far as I'm
concerned. Unfortunately, one succeeded this year.--

NoComm's were running -

than it was about uprights vs bents
