Are RAAM riders tested?

The SUVs favored by fat Americans tend to roll over in such situations.

I wish it weren't true, otherwise it would be funny. I had to pull off the road last week to avoid a head on collision with a fat cow in her SUV that was passing another SUV traveling the opposite direction on a two lane country road. It didn't occur to me that me and my bike going through her windshield might kill her. Damn.

It is for these reasons, among others, I would not do RAAM whether tested or not.

If you were lucky, your corpse might have exacted one last bit of revenge.

the reason more people have died doing the tour is because its been going on longer and far more athletes take part. Other than a incident last year where a woman was run over by a motorbike, Wasnt the last death at the tour in 95.
