I'm Randy Mouri and this blog is about my quest to be an official finisher in the Race Across AMerica (RAAM), the toughest endurance race in the world. It's over and I became an official solo finisher in 11 days, 1 hour and 13 minutes! We continue to raise money and awareness on behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Northern Virginia (Habitat NoVa). If you would like to make a donation to Habitat NoVa, please visit my page on Habitat’s site. Endless thanks to our sponsors and all the folks that have made such generous contributions. Team Mouri would not have been able to travel so comfortably, which certainly may have changed the outcome of the race.

TS 20
Randy reached Time Station 20 in Trinidad, CO at 2115. Randy has now covered 1130miles. Only 1860 to go.
The penalty from the earlier post is a 15minute penalty
The picture is of the RV is which Randy is probably resting as I type.

What an accomplishment! Saving you a piece of the chocolate guinness layer cake I made today. See you at the bay! Love, Danile
Good morning Randy and Crew! Another day in NC where we are thinking of you. Ride on -- you are awesome. And to the crew -- I am blown away by your logistical accomplishments here. Keep him moving!
Hey Sunda! Just got to your desk and couldn't resist to open your emails about the the RAAM. I am glad I did. One of them told us to keep writting because you guys are getting our messages :D Me, Sally and Freddie are here saying hi and very good luck to you! GO GO GO SUNDA! Reiki is also on your way :D I sent you some Reiki last night. xoxo to you all. Annie
Awesome job Randy! Keep it up! Usually I wait until the Tour de France in July to get inspired about riding, but now you've got me going a month earlier!
Hi Team Randy, Just checked with the My Athlete people to find out why Randy is not listed on their site and there is no tracking information there. They said the Shadow GPS tracker in the follow vehicle has been unplugged and drained for four days. Didn't know if you were aware of this so I thought I would let you know it is not functioning. We, at Mercury, have been following the RAAM site to stay up to date.
GO RANDY! We know you can do it and are cheering you on!
Randy, You are doing great! Keep the pedals turning. I saw the post about stopping near a tree in the desert. I'll bet it is the same tree where we stopped in 1990 during RAAM. It wsa the only one we could find! Dave Meridith
Still following your great progress!!! Each morning as I get up I think about you and how you are doing on your bike. As you progress each hour and how they turn into days I will continue to send positive energy your way until you cross the finish line!!
Glued to your progress, amazed by your accomplishment. The miles are ticking by rather quickly in this section. Way to go. LAH & others, thanks for the posts.
Hiya Guys, I was on the eastern shore checking on the house so I haven't been able to check your progress on line. So way to go! two shoes up. Hope yall like beets! I hear some coming your way as you get closer. After all it Is All About The Food. Love to All, Karen
Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and - oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home! there's no place like home!
Lots of strong energy on your way! GO Randy! I will be leaving your chair shortly. Everything is under control. Beijos on your Bunda and love to the super crew!
Hey Randy....been following you the whole way....YOU are a ROCKSTAR!!!! KEEP PEDALING. We are all thinking about you. YOU are "changing the world"... keep it up.

Good job Randi, you are almost at the half way make, keep pushing and stop with the penalty or you will have to start all over.
Randy -- Just another day in paradise. Go get 'em, Dude!
Cheers, Greg

Hi Randy and Susie and crew. We've been following your progress and hope the wind is behind you the rest of the way. You are incredible.

You simply amaze me and so many others who are following your progress.
This is your dream coming true.
Thank you crew for helping a wonderful man bring a wonderful dream to life.
Be Safe, Ride Strong and Enjoy!

Hey Randy! Keep up the good work! Ride those miles for me, too. Great job.
Fred
Ok Randy, remember that song by Argent 'Hold Your Head Up' well I thought the lyrics were quite fitting for RAAM. Kick butt!
And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can take it
Hold your head up (Randy), hold your head up (Randy)
Hold your head up (Randy), hold your head high (Randy)
And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let them change a thing what you're doing
Hold your head up (Randy), hold your head up (Randy)
Hold your head up (Randy), hold your head high (Randy)
Smooches!
