Team Captain Tim Walker, Jr. Thanks the Team

Team Sugar Bee, 

L-R Tim Walker, Jr., Heidi Walker, Emma Walker, Bix Firer
Thanks for riding in the 2017 Bike MS. It was great to see all of you and ride for a great cause.  You are making a big difference in fighting MS and together we can defeat it.  I am so proud to ride with all of you and bee part of the Sugarbee's.  Kelly is very appreciative and wants to thank all of you again for riding. 

We missed the Bee Stop at lunch, but were able to see "Mom and Pops" at the Sugar Bee Tent Saturday afternoon. They had fun being retired and enjoyed their time with all of the Bees. We are the number 6 team in fundraising and still have 2 more months to turn in pledges.  Awesome job! Bee Happy!

CBS Denver Interviews the Walkers of Team Sugar Bee

Check out this great interview with the Walker men from Team Sugar Bee by CBS Denver Channel 4 just before the 2017 Bike MS event. Tim Walker, Sr., Tim Walker, Jr. and Eric Walker share how the team's riders and volunteers have worked hard for 25 years to take the sting out of MS.

"We're not scientists, so we can't find a cure, so we wanted to raise money for that. We can certainly do that." Tim Walker, Jr.

CANCELLED - Lookout Mountain Training Ride May 21

CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Thanks to all of you who have signed up to ride the Bike MS 150 this year. We are so glad to have you. We have around 50 riders signed up to date.

The Lookout Ride Mountain Training Ride is set for Sunday, May 21. Meet up at Tim and Heidi’s home located at 7705 Quartz St., Arvada, CO 80007. We will depart at 8:30 a.m. A ride map and directions will be available then. It can be emailed to you beforehand if you'd like.

RSVP to teamsugarbee@yahoo.com letting us know if you'll be joining us - and if you'd like the map ahead of time. Sorry, but we will not be having a rest stop at the top so plan to bring your own snacks and water - and you might want to bring repair supplies as well just in case. We will end up back at Rancho Walker.

Hope to see you there as we get ready for the main event on June 24 and 25.
