Hello,
This is great and I’m excited to help you achieve this goal. I believe you represent what every cyclist out there would love to be part of. I also believe in helping out others as I have in the past with my small bike race in Peru. I look forward to your trip, pictures and comments once you return from your training camp.

Congratulations to you, Johan and Livestrong for making this a truly one of a kind contest.

My family and I wishes you the best!

This has touched my heart, so proud to be a cyclist and to be a very small part of this wonderful Christmas present. Have had a smile on my face all week, can’t believe how much has been raised in such a short period of time. Bring on the next challenge Johan!

Enjoy the camp Fatty you deserve it. Had a short chat with Jani Brajkovic and Popo at the Tour of Ireland and they were really decent guys. I think you’ll have a blast and looking forward to reading all about it. Ask them what their favourite race is and what they would be doing if they were not pro cyclists?

We still have until Dec. 11th, right? Why slow down? Just cuz we met Johan’s goals doesn’t mean we can’t continue, right? The incentives are certainly nice, but how about we go for $150K or $200K for nothing other than bragging rights?
