Congratulation to John Schlitter, ultra cyclist, RAAM Racer, and rider extraordinaire. This is extracted from the ‘Bentrider Online Home Page.
Bacchetta’s own John Schlitter was the top points finisher in the UMCA’s Ultracup standings, finishing ahead of all other bicycle types and age groups, and a very tough international group of UMCA and RAAM racers. John’s 197 point total was 7 points ahead of the next European upright bicycle racer, and 30 points ahead of the next American upright competitor.
53 year old John has been on a roll over the last six race seasons, starting with his Race Across Florida all bike record in 2004, and current RAAM recumbent records in 4 man (2005) 2 man (2007) and solo (2008), among many other records and victories listed here…
I watched and cheered John in his 2008 Solo Race Across America. John, we are all proud of you! Again, CONGRATS!
