Lap the Lake

🦒🐘 This Bib Raffle prize is a WILD one! 🦁🐒

A BIG thank you to the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium for donating four Zoo tickets for our Lap the Lake 2026 Bib Raffle! 🎟️ We appreciate them helping us add another fun prize to the mix!

Apparently your Lap the Lake bib might take you a whole lot farther than around Melvern Lake. 😂

⏳ Register by midnight September 14 and your bib number goes in the hat for all the Bib Raffle prizes we’ve been showing off!

And while you’ve got September 14 circled… that’s also the deadline to secure your Lap the Lake shirt! 🇺🇸

One date. Two good reasons not to procrastinate. 😉

And yep… we still have more prizes coming. 👀

🦊 Now for the important question: What’s YOUR favorite animal to see at the zoo?

Bonus points if you can guess Tripp & Mini Tripp’s favorite. 😂 Drop your guesses below! 👇

Some of our worst miles have turned into our favorite stories. 😂🚲

Windstorms, phone-a-friend attempts, promised protein shakes that never appeared 😂… and plenty of moments when quitting sounded pretty darn good.

But maybe that’s one of the best things biking has taught us, bad days happen. You keep pedaling. And if you’re lucky, you’ve got some pretty great people beside you while you do it. ❤️

Gina & Carla…care to take a trip down memory lane with us? 😂

It started with Lap The Lake… and somewhere along the way, it sparked our biking journey together. 🚲🧡

Funny to look back and remember there was a time we couldn’t even ride the Mariana Trench in one shot. 😂 We’ve come a long way!

Here’s a little bit of the beginning…

🇺🇸 WELL… THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET A LITTLE ROWDY. 🐂

Because apparently running, riding and rucking around Melvern Lake, just wasn’t enough… 😂

Our amazing cohost, Melvern Lake Marina, is bringing even MORE fun to Lap the Lake this year with a MECHANICAL BULL from Let’s Get Rowdy! 🙌🐂

🐂 10 AM – 2 PM
🇺🇸 OPEN TO EVERYONE — racers AND the public!

Come out, cheer on our racers, grab some food, hang around the Marina and see how long you can hold on.

And racers… if you cross that finish line and somehow still have a little gas left in the tank, WE DARE YA. 😂
