Raam Memories by Ron Jones

1995 Participation- TEAM PEPSI BRAZIL - Second Place Finish

The book "Crossing America on two wheels - Race Across America" tells the story of the second place finish by Team Pepsi Brazil in the '95 race. With text by José Carlos Secco, one of the cyclists, it details the eight hundred thousand pedal spins necessary to cover the 4658 kilometers of the race.

The book shows a lot of the race, and very little of America, which you can see here.
