Team Macular Regeneration, a four-man cycling squad organized by Odessa triathlon coach Bo Webster, completed the 3,014-mile Race Across America from Oceanside, Calif., to Annapolis, Md., late June 19.

Webster, 64; Jim DeLuca, 41, of Spring Hill; Bob Ebert, 52, of Spring Hill, and Brian Wilder, 57, of St. Petersburg, finished in eight days, six hours, 28 minutes. Their time was 11{+t}{+h} of the 14-male four-person teams that began the event. Aided by a 10-person crew, they split up the duties by riding in shifts that required each to cover more than 100 miles a day.

The team planned to donate a portion of their fundraising proceeds to the Macular Degeneration Foundation.
