Bacchetta Recumbents Power John Foote To A RAAM Qualification!

On Sunday morning, 2/19/06, at 6:30 AM 48 year old John Foote, an Ultra Marathon Cycling Association (UMCA) member from Troy, Ohio crossed the timing pad at Sebring International Raceway for the final time. The Bike Sebring 12/24 Hour Race, in Sebring, FL had ended and John had recorded 437 miles over the 24 hour period, thus exceeding the 425 miles required to qualifying for the Race Across AMerica (RAAM) solo division. But, thats only a small portion of the story.
