Thank you to everyone for your support!
Team Bear riders after finishing 65 miles…
some would say, the cutest couple on the course!
Lucifer and some pals…
The bike was sometimes the rock star in the crowded field… with almost 4,000 bikes, it certainly was the most unique. 
Team Bear, 6 riders strong, had a great time in the hill country outside of Austin. The Austin LiveStrong Challenge and the Ride for the Roses brought in a little over $4million dollars with a total of $10.1 million raised in all four cities total. Team Bear in Seattle was the number 4 team with $25,689 raised. Kevin brought in $17,649 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation and was honored by being invited to ride in the front group of the Austin LiveStrong Challenge and Ride for the Roses. While I didn’t get a chance to actually meet Lance, I was privileged to attend several events where many, many special guests were honored for their efforts to help the Livestrong movement.
We met lots of great people throughout the weekend and look forward to continuing some of those friendships. There were people from around the world there.
We also learned that Seattle will again host a LiveStrong Challenge in 2010! June 18-20 Seattle will play host to a great event and Team Bear will ride, run and walk again! Stay in touch if you might be interested in joining us, and get out there and ride your bike!
Kevin,
Mom and I keep up on your site and we are so proud of all of you. You guys are truly amazing. When we see Karen she always asks to read everything new. We will keep donating for livestrong. We are so sorry that we didn’t get to meet Beth. She sounds like an incredible person. We will keep looking for updates. Love, Lori and Lois
