“His impact has been huge in the lives of thousands” – Chuck Bramwell If you’ve ever been to the Furnace Creek 508, you’ve probably seen him. He’s crewed 17 times. If you’ve ever been involved in RAAM, you surely have seen him. He’s crewed for 16 RAAMs. Lee “Fuzzy” Mitchell can without a doubt be considered one of the greats in ultra crewing. Just ask anyone of the more than 5,000 riders who has finished one of the California Triple Crown double centuries. Chuck Bramwell, director of the California Triple Crown says ” over 90% of those riders have seen [...]

Elaine Mariolle

2023-04-03T19:35:33-07:00

“She’s an absolutely delightful person, definitely enriching my RAAM experiences.” — John Marino Elaine is someone you would want on your team. She is enthusiastic, dedicated to the sport of cycling and committed to helping others while pursuing her passions of cycling and traveling. She describes herself as “a geographer motivated by curiosity, a sense of adventure and the desire to continue to grow as a person. Bicycling, especially ultramarathon cycling, has been an amazing vehicle for the exploration of landscapes both internal and external.” She is as unusual as her resume. Few people attempt RAAM a year after starting [...]

John Marino

2023-04-03T19:35:32-07:00

“Without John’s vision and participation, I don’t believe RAAM would have ever evolved.” – Pete Penseyres Where would ultra cycling be without John Marino? We’d probably still be thinking a 200 miler was long. Would there even be a RAAM? Maybe, but surely not a race of RAAM’s caliber. This cycling pioneer was the catalyst and driving influence behind what would eventually become known as the toughest race of any kind in the world – The Race Across America. John Marino has always been an athlete. He was a star baseball and football player at Hollywood (CA) High School. The [...]

Rob Kish

2023-04-03T19:35:32-07:00

“I live where I breathe, but I do most of my sleeping in Port Orange, FL.” Rob Kish is without question the most accomplished ultra cyclist on the planet. Can any of us imagine riding RAAM 17 times in succession without a single DNF, winning it three times, setting and still holding the RAAM record time of 8 days 3 hours, and finishing on the podium countless times?? Rob did more than imagine it. He set the standard for all RAAMsters. It’s appropriate that Rob was voted Ultra Cyclist of the Year for 2003 by the readers of UltraCycling and [...]
