RAAM 2006 Costs
ABL compiled all of the RAAM expenses from last year, but she was too afraid to total it up. All told, I spent around $17,650 on the race (mostly gas, food, hotels, flights, and RV), but that also includes cycling clothes, bike equipment, etc. Here are the main expenses:
RV $4300
Flights $2750
RAAM Entry Fee $1750
Food and Fuel To Get To Cali $600
Food And Fuel From Oceanside To NJ $2800
Hotels From Cali to NJ $400
It's Everywhere You Want To Be.
For 2007, The RAAM organization negotiated a 15% discount from Cruise America; however, Cruise America raised their one-way drop off charge nearly 3 times, so the RV will cost around $5000. If you'd like to help me meet my ultracycling dreams and spread the message of organ donation, please contribute to my RAAM expenses fund:
