Team Green Beret Foundation (Team GBF) finished this year’s Race Across America (RAAM) in 6 days, 22 hours, and 48 minutes. Team GBF won the 50+ 4-Person Team Category by over 8 hours and placed 6th out of 17 teams overall.  Whether it was Andrew Schaaf and Dave Viens crushing the climbs in Colorado and West Virginia or Dave Johnson and Gino Elsea burning up the roads on TT bikes in Missouri or Pennsylvania, the team was able to steadily increase their lead over their rivals.  Team GBF also won the Armed Forces Cup, an award given to the fastest team representing the Armed Forces.  It would have been impossible for a rookie team to achieve these results without the support of an incredible crew and outstanding sponsors.  Most importantly, the team raised over $50,000 for the Green Beret Foundation and raised awareness of this great organization and all the work they do by providing immediate support to wounded or ill Army Special Forces warriors and their families. Job Well Done!  Bike Safe – Team GBF
