Modern technology automatically records the bicyclists passing the station and many simply breeze by, preferring to keep moving.
The Oxford stop is No. 41 of 54. Solo racers are expected to reach the city on June 19, while teams are likely June 22.
Many riders are racing solo, but there are also two-, four- and eight-person teams with many of them exchanging riders at the station so the one getting off the bike for a while can stop and talk for a few minutes and enjoy provided cold drinks and snacks.
Oxford has hosted the Race Across America timing station for several years. More about the race is online at raamrace.org/route.
