Congrats, John! That is a huge accomplishment! I was thinking of trying to ride across the US in 28 days, but now that you've done it in under 12 days, what's the point??!! Many Many Kudos!

As a competitive cyclist myself I'm in awe of anyone who completes a solo RAAM, especially of a RAAM rookie. Good going John!

Awesome accomplishment, John. I was a crew member on the concurrent Race Across the West and then followed your progress on Tractalis. The effort and energy put into this event by both rider and crew have been rewarded by success!
Congratulations!

John, this is terrific -- way to go!!
In 1972, I biked with my family from SF to Vancouver, Canada in 14 days. What you did is in another galaxy all together. I'm in complete awe of your accomplishment.

It must have taken extraordinary force of will to continue on when exhausted and, say, pedaling into a headwind across Kansas with the sun beating down. Congratulations to you, John, and your support crew!
