RAAM 2022 – GCN Pairs Attempt

starts this evening I think, Mark Beaumont, who needs no introduction and Jonathan Shubert (him of the sub 3hr 100 mile ride) are going for the World Record

Well I can see the GCN Team on the Roster but no sign of them on the tracker.

I’m a bit confused on timing. Looks like Teams don’t head out till Sat? Will drop in time to time and see how they’re going.

Yeh that’d explain it Mr P

Ah right. Ta.

Jon has Covid

Major change of plan at RAAM.

I will have to start solo since Jon Schubert just tested positive for COVID.

Think the TABR is a harder race as its unsupported ? Or is this race harder as its supported and therefore “non stop” (even though both are….)

Either way, like following both.

plug pulled here, sad but inevitable

that’s super sad but was very likely in the end.  That’s a huge jump from planning and lining up as a pair to going solo.

Is there an announcement somewhere?  didn’t see it on twitter

First team of 8 have just finished in 5 days, 2 hours and 47 minutes.

anyone watch part 2 of the GCN+ docu

then ending, huh

@dirtyrider – yeah I watched it. Seemed a bit unnecessary from Mark. Felt like he blamed Jon for catching COVID.
Didn’t really get the feeling that they were much of a team throughout the documentary. Maybe that’s just because they’re both better suited to riding alone. Would be great to see them both enter as solo riders and go up against eachother.
