Two-Time Race Across America Champion will be Crew Chief.
This afternoon, I had the opportunity to speak with Danny Chew, RAAM Two-Time Champion and Eight-Time Finisher. Danny has taken on the role of Crew Chief for his 19 year old nephew, Steven Perezluha. To say that this man is passionate is an understatement.
Our conversation started by discussing the Race Across America preferred hotels for 2011 but quickly side tracked into great stories about Danny's RAAM experience and his nephew's journey to RAAM. We also discussed Danny's quest to bicycle one million miles during his lifetime which he expects to accomplish within the next thirty years. When you call him crazy, he just laughs.
We are looking forward to working with Danny and Steven on their RAAM Team hotel accommodations this year and to see if Steven will ride into Annapolis as the youngest Race Across America Champion in history.
