My mission is to log 1 million miles on bicycles during my lifetime. Stationary riding or indoor miles do not count at all! I have already logged over half a million miles on many bikes since 1968. I enter several ultra-cycling events each year. For the past 8 years, I have finished the 3,000 mile bicycle race, the Race Across AMerica or RAAM. The race begins on the Pacific Coast and continues 24 hours a day until the first cyclist reaches the finish in the East. The following list documents my placings for each of the 8 years that I have competed in the race: YEAR PLACE FINISHING TIME 1994 4th 9 Days, 0 Hours, 29 Minutes 1995 2nd  9 Days, 2 Hours, 40 Minutes 1996 1st  8 Days, 7 Hours, 14 Minutes 1997 2nd  9 Days, 11 Hours, 30 Minutes 1998 4th  8 Days, 23 Hours, 14 Minutes 1999 1st  8 Days, 7 Hours, 34 Minutes 2000 2nd  9 Days, 8 Hours, 17 Minutes 2001 3rd 10 Days, 3 Hours, 7 Minutes
