Greetings from James Raia

  • Published 10/15/2008
As a journalist since 1976, I contribute sports, business, travel and lifestyle articles to newspapers, magazines and web sites. Many examples of my work: Tour de France to my syndicated car review column The Weekly Driver, golf  to lifestyle feature — are listed in the sections to the left.

I'm also the National Cycling Examiner and Monterey Peninsula Examiner for Examiner.com, and I own and maintain the web sites: golftribune.com (All about golf); montereypeninsula.org (All about the Monterey Peninsula); theweeklydriver.com. (All about cars).

When I post articles to my sites, share an opinion or post news of the day, I'll post it on my Twitter account.

Cheers, James Raia. E-mail: james@byjamesraia.com.

Bruce is a skilled endurance athlete with strong finishes in events ranging from the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. He’s also a skilled videographer. He made this video during Floyd Landis’ now-erased 2006 Tour de France victory.

Take a look at the video via the read more link below. Then spend some surfin' around the site and then tell friends, family and colleagues. Cheers, James Raia.
