“Well-supported and manageable for any level rider. CowaLUNGa is not a typical fundraising or sporting event — I found it to be so much more. As a recipient of the “golden cow” (given to 5-year riders), this event has become the big party I look forward to all summer. Distance riding was fairly new to me the first year. With more experience under my belt, it now provides the athletic challenge as well. The ride itself is so well-supported and manageable for any level. I’ve made friends for life and support a cause for life thanks to CowaLUNGa. – Leah C., Chicago, IL
