Walker Brothers Back in the Saddle Again!

Tim Walker, Jr. & Eric Walker

These handsome Sugar Bees and brothers, Tim Walker, Jr. and Eric Walker, can't get enough of Bike MS. Not only did they ride in the Coloardo Bike MS event in June this year, they are also riding in the Bike MS Big Horn Country Classic being held in Sheridan, Wyoming on August 11 & 12.

The Walker family started Team Sugar Bee back in 1993 to honor their daughter and sister, Kelly Walker, who was diagnosed with MS in 1988. They saw the devastating effects MS had on her and were motivated to ride and raise funds in an effort to find a cure for the disease. That first year they had just 6 riders, but the team now boasts about 100 riders every year.

Tim, Jr. & Eric are long time members of the Top 100 Bike MS fundraisers in Colorado and the Bike MS High Rollers Club for their fundraising efforts pushing Team Sugar Bee's toward the $2 million mark! But no matter how much you raise, every dollar counts to help TAKE THE STING OUT OF MS! Pedal on, brothers!

SEPTEMBER 30 DEADLINE

Team Sugarbee Wyoming Finishes Strong

Day 2 of the Wyoming MS150 was spectactular. Chris Bell, Karyn Hamilton & Jon Richard enjoyed every moment. Here they are taking a bit of a rest at Sand Turn in the Big Horn Mountains. Beautiful view! Beautiful people!

Pat Demchok and Jamie McCue rounded out the TSB Wyoming crew, but were already hither and yon when these other pics were snapped.

They've nearly reached their goal of $5,000 to add to the fight against MS.

Thanks to each and every rider and volunteer on Team Sugarbee! You are the best!

Day 1 Wyoming Team Sugarbee

The Wyoming contingent of Team Sugarbee had a great ride on day 1 of Bike MS. Here's a  few pics they took along the way.

Getting ready to rumble!

TSB Heads to Wyoming August 13 & 14

Cheer on the Wyoming contingent of Team Sugarbee as they ride in Bike MS: Wyoming's Bighorn Country Classic 2016 on August 13 and 14.

Team captain, Karyn Hamilton leads this small but mighty hive that includes Chris Bell, Jamie McCue & Jon Richard. Their goal is to raise $5,000 and they're nearly half way there with 3 weeks to go before the ride. You can find their team's donation page here.

This year's ride has moved to Sheridan, Wyoming  and will travel through Sheridan, Ucross, Buffalo, Story, Banner, Dayton & Ranchester. And for those cyclists who just can't get enough, there's course options into the Big Horn Mountains. The MS Society tells me this ride usually has about 300 riders.

Send them good thoughts for their 2016 ride. We're all part of the same hive fighting for the same goal - to take the sting out of MS!
