RAAM (Race Across America)

I was invited to join the all diabetic race team, Team Type 1, on the (bicycle!) Race Across America. One of my best friends in the world was on the team, Steve Holmes, so of course I couldn't say no.

It was one of the most intense, grueling, and fun shooting events of my life, and one that has proved to have kicked my ass back into photography.

I blogged the entire trip extensively (70-something entries if I recall), had over 20,000 hits to the website, and shot thousands of pictures. If you have any interest in bicycle racing, the dedication of diabetics, or just plain ol' cross-country adventures, I encourage you to open a bottle of wine and come along for the ride. It's a good, long read, and a lot of fun.
