Traveler from Germany.....

The RAAM cyclists and their crews weren't the only visitors to visit Camdenton's TS31 this week. About noon Thursday Klaus and Osel Urbanek of Hanover, Germany stopped and visited the Volunteers at SIGNAL.
Klaus is a lifelong cyclist and was a road racer in his younger days. In 2005 he and a friend, followed in a vehicle by their wives, rode the West Coast route from Vancouver BC to Tijuana Mexico, a very popular route known world-wide. When he learned of RAAM he checked the route on the internet and determined that he would give it a try. He asked Osel if she'd "crew" for him and she said SURE.
They trained in Florida this past January, arrived in Califrnia May 25 and started their trip from Oceanside June 2. Averaging about 100 miles per day, the couple is enjoying the scenery and friendliness of those they meet along the way.
Klaus is a prime example of lifelong fitness. Although 70 years YOUNG he has the physique of a much younger man.

After a short stay the couple was off to Jeff City and the 1200 miles left in this years RAAM route. We wish them open roads and fair weather.
