We did our first outdoor 24 hour training session with exchanges this weekend.
Man did we learn! This is going to be a very interesting adventure. There is no doubt that we got smoother as the weekend went on. Diet and sleep are going to be very tricky. I got 2 hours of sleep and something tells me that I will need more than that and I can't live on syrups all week.
We started out in Stillwater and made our way back over to Champlin. The weather was beatiful and it helped in the process of getting a feel for the flow in the day in the life of RAAM.
One other thing that I learned is that I really like night riding. I got a front and rear light from Trailhead on Saturday morning and did all of my riding outside. I think that I could get into some night time riding this summer. It was very cool!
One more thing... no flats! I don't know if that is a good sign or not? We will have to practice that next time! Oh, and no rain... we might have to practice that next time too! Beautiful ride, thanks everybody! And a big thanks to Bernie for opening up his home once again to the team!!

My wife and I were out late on saturday and saw a Loon riding down elm creek parkway at like 1130 at night. Serious dedication. I figured it was you or Bernie. Nice work.
