I just received Bicyling Magazine in the mail and only got
through the editor's introduction. Anyway the article started off
by saying that the Race Across America should be over
by the time "you" get this magazine.
I happen to think this is very important event (or
at least should be) and have not heard or seen
a word about it other than the few articles in
bicycling.
For those of you who have not heard of the event;
it started last year as the Great American Bike Race.
It included 4 of the finest long distance riders in the United
States.  The ride started in Southern California and finished
in New York.  Lon Haldemann (sp?) won the event in just under
10 days if memory serves me correctly.
	But anyhow this years event was to be better organized
and hopefully more publicized.  Well if the event has
already happened I sure have not heard about it.
I'd like to think that this event is "part" of the start
of something big - the rebirth of bicycling as a recognized
sport in the United States.  Does anyone else out there agree?
More importantly for now, has anyone heard of the results of
this grand event and possibly post them to the net?
