Since 1982, the Race Across America has been one of the country's most visible endurance races, pitting bicyclists against the enormous scope of the U.S. This year, Sir Steve Redgrave, Britain's most decorated Olympian, takes part with his Steve Redgrave Fund and Sport Relief charity, and Land Rover leads the way with its LR4 acting as the team's lead support vehicle. The Race Across America sends team of cyclists, riding in relay format, across the more than 3,000 miles of terrain that is a West- to East Coast drive across the United States. Teams can cover up to 500 miles in a day, meaning the cross-country trip -- on a bike, remember -- typically ends in six to nine days.
This year's contest began on June 12 in Oceanside, Calif., and will end in Annapolis, Md.
