We hope our ride across America inspires other women to try a sport- great for your physical and mental health! #shecan #thisgirlcan #mentalhealth #icangothedistance
Sally Orange from @MindRaam shares why the team are fundraising for Women in Sport as part of their amazing Race Across America challenge. 🚴‍♀️ "...trying to break down the barriers that women face in sport..." 👊 Keep going ladies! 😀 @leadchallenges #MindOverMatter #RAAM19
Past halfway and still going strong. The team is tired but the end point is getting closer. 🚲🚲🚲💨 #Cycling #Endurance #ride #RAAM2019

Thanks Carl for keeping the team at bearable pain levels 😂 We wouldn’t be moving without you 🙏 #PushYourLimits #challenges #RAAM2019
California | Arizona | Colorado ✅ After the hair bending climbs and steep descents of Colorado, the @MindRaam team have started the long push across Kansas; reaching the half-way point of the @RAAMRaces a few hours ago... instagram.com/p/By58GlvnCWG/…

Life for #RAAM2019 crew is not glamorous. Living on a bus, laundry in buckets and out in all weathers to protect out cyclists. #supportcrew #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #teamwork

Although slightly terrifying the team are glad they have practised the glass elevator! #overcomechallenges #cycle #raam2019
The Inspirational @MindRaam team completed a training run on Monday, descending 9 miles into the desert at Borrego Springs, in temperatures over 40 degrees about 80 miles from the start line in Oceanside. Amazing stuff! bit.ly/2Q0Q7lq #RaceAcrossAmerica #MindOverMatter
