Thanks for all the compliments about the image! After witnessing RAAM from the crew van I can only say that it is one incredible challenge and involves a whole lot of preparation–not just training on the bike. I’d highly recommend volunteering as a crew for a RAAM rider or team to get a taste of it before doing it yourself. I actually get choked up thinking about what these solo riders suffer in pursuit of their dreams.

Hey Justin, yes you definitely can purchase a copy of the photo. We’ve had a few people write in asking the same thing. Send me a message at darryl@lovingthebike.com and I’ll let you know how you can purchase a print from Dan.

If it was up to me, this photo would win the contest we have coming out tomorrow for sure. Be sure to tune in tomorrow for all the details and you’re definitely going to want to enter this one.

Can I purchase a print of this picture? I’ve got the perfect place on my wall and it will serve as inspiration for me to complete the RAAM one day myself.

I’m not sure what the details are with the contest you mentioned, but I’d have to say that this one is the winner. I agree that it’s one of the best cycling pictures out there.

Hey Eric, I would love to do the RAAM as well. I actually met a guy while in Bonaire who did the RAAM a few years ago….he’s from Dallas originally and has been living in Bonaire for the past 5 years. It seems like I’m meeting more and more people who have done it or plan on doing it. Maybe we can be like Dex and be one of the few people over 60 who have completed the RAAM.

That monument valley picture is so incredibly cool. I desperately want to do that RAAM ride with Pamela one time while we can still go reasonably fast. I hope things play out to make that possible…. What an awesome pic.

Thanks Bethel, I really appreciate the positive feedback. Yeah, doing the RAAM would be amazing and anyone who does it has some incredible memories that last a lifetime.

Hi Sherrill, it’s so great that Crystals Dream team is taking part in this year’s RAAM. It is one amazing event and I wish them all the best.
