On RAAM Updates

This is taken directly from the Daily Peloton:

Peter Oyler was also forced to abandon, unable to ride through the agony of “Schermer’s Neck”. The Canadian has been almost a mainstay in sixth position over the last five days, but there was no way he could ride 1,400 more miles in such pain. He can be immensely proud of his effort. The same goes for Tony O’Keeffe – in a double blow for Canada, he too abandoned, having looked so strong only yesterday.

Well actually, it looks like that is not entirely true, you can read what Peter himself wrote on his website. He had kidney problems and had started to bloat.

Other than that, with less than 500 miles left in the RAAM, having covered a distance of over 2700 miles, the gap between Jure Robic and Daniel Wyss is seven minutes, yes that's right, these two guys are almost within visual range of each other having covered almost 5000 km!
