Washington, D.C.

May 14th, 2008 by David Lofye (LAF Staff)

On Tuesday afternoon, Adam Clark and I stopped by Russ Dudley’s LIVESTRONG Day event in Washington, D.C. With the U.S. Capitol Building as their backdrop, Russ, Janice Cessna, Nathan Staley and David Bender set up their bikes and trainers on the National Mall grounds by the Capitol reflecting pool. Spinning in LIVESTRONG gear, the goal was to spread the word about the LAF’s work to make cancer a national priority. They managed to hand out dozens of wristbands, distribute literature about the LAF and recruit some folks to join them at the Philadelphia LIVESTRONG Challenge on August 24. As you can see from the photos – the weather in our nation’s capital was beautiful for an afternoon of spinning on LIVESTRONG Day!

    Sweet pics! I love DC. I visited for the first time last March and I couldn’t have been more impressed. From the Metro (which outdoes the subway….”New York” by a million degrees) to the free museums, the experience was outstanding. If anyone is interested in reliving our epic spring break to DC, we made a blog of the trip at http://coast2coast.blacklotusweb.com/ enjoy!

    Russ - way to go! Looks like we rode on stationary bikes on both sides of the coast (see Seattle!).

    Waaaaait a moment: if you really were on a stationary trainer, how did you manage to move 90 degrees between photos? Hmmm …!!! ;)

    Great job Russ! We’re definitely proud of you all!
