Danny's Solo RAAM Rider Indexes
I have compiled a complete list of all the brave 263 men and courageous
46 women who have started solo RAAM. Included are their placings,
times, and average speeds. Unofficial finishes
are included and miles ridden before DNFs. One list goes in
chronological order while the
other list is alphabetical. Please give me some input as to which
form you like better.
E stands for Enduro division.
U stands for Unofficial finish.
Y stands for Youngest finisher Ben Couturier.
O stands for Oldest male finisher Fred Boethling and Oldest female
finisher Bonnie Allison.
R stands for Rookie-of-the-Year
DNF stands for Did Not Finish followed by miles ridden before quitting.
In the female list, I have also included overall placings for good
times. For example, the listing
Hogan, Seana 1{4}(1995)9:04:17/13.22 means that Seana won
the 1995 women's race and placed 4th overall with a finishing time of 9
Days, 4 Hours, 17 Minutes, and average speed of 13.22 mph.
If you print them out, use Landscape (sideways paper) so that you get
all of the columns.
My lists makes it very easy to compare two RAAM riders' results such
as Paul Solon versus Fabio
Biasiolo. Paul has started 8 RAAMs and Fabio 10. Fabio
has 5 finishes but no wins. Paul has 2 finishes including 1
win. However, Fabio has more total RAAM miles ridden including
all of their many DNFs.

Using my new male and female solo RAAM rider indexes, I have come up
with the following statistics:

Benorden, Matt Bond, Tom Buckley,
Tally Chapman, Tom Davies, Rob Kish, Keith Krombel, Terry Lansdell, Jim
Penseyres, Kaname
