All rights reserved. GEAR 2020 Page 3 General Information GEAR 2020 Page 4 Race Across America 2020 RAAM - What is it? Race Across America (RAAM) is the world’s preeminent and longest running endurance bicycle race, regarded as the World Championship of Ultracycling, beginning in Oceanside, CA and ending in Annapolis, MD. Outside Magazine ranked the event as the World’s Toughest Endurance Race for its grueling Solo Division. But, RAAM has evolved into much more. Today this transcontinental endeavor continues to be the ultimate test of the solo athlete’s ability, determination and fortitude. However, teams now comprise the majority of the race field. Both solos and teams use RAAM as a platform for their philanthropic causes and each year raise millions of dollars for these causes. Unlike other famous races such as the Giro de Italia, Vuelta a Espana and Tour de France, RAAM has no stages. Also, unlike other famous stage races pros and amateurs race together and there are a number of different divisions, all on the race route together. Drafting is not allowed and since it is a “single-stage” race, the first one to finish in each division wins. As a solo endeavor, RAAM is the longest ultra cycling race in the world and for those who finish may be the accomplishment of a lifetime. However, as a relay team RAAM offers not only an opportunity to be challenged, but to have fun and create memories that will last a lifetime. Since RAAM offers Solo, 2-, 4- and 6-8-Person team divisions, RAAM is an achievable goal for many cyclists. General Race Information On Tuesday, June 16, 2020, the Solo racers depart Oceanside, California on the 39th annual Race Across America. Competitors climb over 170,000 feet while passing through 12 states in their 3,000-mile campaign to the finish

    2021 CYCLIST BIBLE 39TH ANNUAL LOGAN, UTAH TO JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING BIKE RACE HOW IT ALL BEGAN The LoToJa was started in 1983 by two Logan cyclists, David Bern, a student at Utah State University, and Jeff Keller, the owner of Sunrise Cyclery. The two men wanted a race that resembled the difficulty of a one-day European classic, like Paris-Roubaix or the Tour of Flanders. LoToJa's first year featured seven cyclists racing 192 miles from Logan to a finish line in Jackson's town square. The winning time was just over nine hours by Logan cyclist, Bob VanSlyke. Since then, LoToJa has grown into one of the nation’s premier amateur cycling races and continues to be a grueling test of one's physical and mental stamina. Many compete to win their respective category, while others just ride to cross the finish line. At 200+ miles, LoToJa is the longest one-day USAC-sanctioned bicycle race in the country.

  • Rishi Malhotra
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XIV APRIL 2012 HETEROSEXUAL ANDROGYNY, QUEER HYPERMASCULINITY, AND HETERONORMATIVE INFLUENCE IN THE MUSIC OF FREDDIE MERCURY AND QUEEN Author: Rishi Malhotra Faculty Sponsor: Wayne Heisler, Department of Music ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION In a musical career that spanned two decades, Freddie Mercury served as lead vocalist and chief songwriter for the rock band, Queen. Initially regarded as a glam-metal outfit, they later experimented with more eclectic musical styles, notably the rock-opera fusion that characterized Mercury‟s widely successful composition, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Mercury‟s use of imagery in live performances and music videos helped to shape responses to his lyrics and music. His change in appearance from androgynous, heterosexual rock star to “gay macho clone” led many to speculate that he was homosexual, although he never disclosed his orientation until shortly before his death. His protean appearance contrasted with his lyrical and musical consistency and provided alternative avenues for interpreting his music beyond the scope of heteronormativity. Many songs that were initially construed as reflecting his assumed heterosexuality were later interpreted as expressions of his homosexuality. Mercury has retained a legacy amongst admirers of differing sexual orientations, from members of the gay community during the early years of the AIDS epidemic to sports fans in stadiums around the world. Heteronormativity, according to Judith Butler, assumes heterosexuality as the norm, and deviation from heterosexuality as unnatural or abnormal. The apparent tendency to avoid decentralization of sexual identities and to default to heteronormative viewpoints is evident in the rock and pop music of Freddie Mercury and Queen.

  • Queen Has Over Four Decades Continued to Find New Fans and Hold an Indelible Influence on Generations of Music Makers
    Sterling song craft, virtuoso musicality, outrageous glamour and colossal spectacle: Queen has over four decades continued to find new fans and hold an indelible influence on generations of music makers. Despite the loss of lead singer and songwriting partner Freddie Mercury more than 20 years ago, Queen’s electrifying artistry continues to shake stadiums, to galvanize arenas and to enthrall audiences worldwide. The statistics are simply staggering: sales in the hundreds of millions of units, an unprecedented string of number one albums and top-charting singles, seven UK Ivor Novello Awards; Induction into The UK Music Hall of Fame, the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and The Songwriters Hall of Fame; MTV Global Icon Award; Songs enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Queen has spent 1,422 weeks on the British charts ...over 27 years total, with their Greatest Hits according to BPI sales statistics the best-selling album in Britain UK between 1956 to 2013 (first released in 1981, close on 6 million sales). Queen’s achievement is amazing, to even see off The Beatles classic, Sergeant Pepper, an album that shook the world. Four individual talents: Brian May, an incredible guitarist who has earned a PhD in Astrophysics; Roger Taylor, one of the most influential drummers of all time; John Deacon, a fast and facile bassist, multi-instrumentalist and a brilliant electronics engineer; and Freddie Mercury, certainly one of most riveting showman to ever command a stage, with one common thread, the ability to marry a fantastic sense of melody and song structure to a swaggering presentation.
