Their crew can communicate with them via wireless ear pieces and over the follow-car loudspeakers. It's real common for crews to read Facebook messages to the riders as encouragement as they roll along.

WARDY: Yesterday in Monument Valley.

NICE RIG!
It's set up so that Bailey or Henry can ride right up into the back doors. They secure their rig and then drive forward to the next transition point.

Visit the Legends of the Road Facebook page.

Some or the content is going to www.RAAMMedia.com. Most of it will get put there as things wind down. But for the most part 90% of the content goes straight to Facebook. It's an easier platform to use for RAAM Media which is basically three Dodge Caravans, each staffed with a videographer, photojournalist, a driver and a MiFi.

Try Facebook, you can always nuke the account after the boys reach Annapolis, which will be LiveStreamed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WARDY

Jeff Ward is celebrating his birthday today with his team as they ride through Missouri. They've just crossed the Missouri River.

There are two ways. On the Live Tracking go to the right and scroll down to their category, 4-person age 50-59 or go to the Leaderboard at this link: http://www.raceacrossamerica.org/results.html

FROM THE LEGENDS OF THE ROAD FACEBOOK

Update! The Legends made a pass earlier today! They are now 20 miles ahead of Team Brasil (420) and 40 miles behind Team Plantagents (409). Pretty awesome considering the rough start the team endured. 35 Race Teams (combined Solo and Teams) have DNFd so far. This race is no joke and this a HUGE accomplishment for Wardy, Bailey, Henry, and Dymond!!!!

Would also like to give a huge Congrats to Race Across America Solo record holder Christoph Strasser for his 4th Win. The Solos started on June 13th. Christoph completed the 3,070-mile race in 8 days 9 hours and 34 minutes!!! (Christoph was not able to race last year because he was hit by a car while training). Way to bounce back Sir Strasser, and Let's Go Legends!! #RAAM #UltraEnduranceCycling #TheLegendsOfTheRoad
