Jason Kearney Did the Livestrong Challenge Austin

There is no comparison.  I used to do several charity rides, but now I only do one.  Since it is my job to ask people for money every day, I find it a little tiring to ask them for money so I can participate in charity rides.  So I decided some time ago to limit myself to just one, and that one is the Livestrong Challenge.

Great pictures and Jason writes about his weekend in Texas.

Four years ago, the University of Texas Cycling Team (of which this author is an alum) decided to raise money by hosting a bicycle rally. It was the start of the fall semester, and they needed money for travel to opposing colleges and cash to pay race entry fees. They conferred with the leaders of the local cycling organizations, who told them putting on a one-day tour within their estimated time frame would be an impossible feat. They’d need at least six months, the experts told them. They had six weeks.

Round #4 of the Texas Fall Racing series took place last weekend with a stop in Louisiana. Racers made the long drive to Ruston, LA to enjoy the best race on the fall series schedule. Ruston is a rider favorite due to it’s stage race format including a short track race, time trial, and cross country race. This type of format is rare so it attracted many racers. In addition to the stage race format, the promoters were guaranteeing a $1500 pay out to the pro class. With this kind of money up for grabs, the best riders in Texas were all shooting for a great weekend. On top of all of that, the weather was nearly perfect with race temperatures in the 70’s. The course was in perfect shape too with dry weather for a week leading up to the race. The course is a lot of fun offering everything a racer is looking for, climbs, technical descents, flats, and plenty of smooth flowing single track.
