Thank You! Over $30K Raised for the U.S. Bicycle Route System

We did it! With your generous support and the support of our business sponsors, as well as our bike organization and web partners, we've raised over $30,000 for the U.S. Bicycle Route System! Thanks to all of our supporters for your donations, and helping to spread the word about the Build It. Bike It. Be a Part of It. campaign.

As of this morning, the Adventure Cycling led campaign was within $900 of its $30K target, so the campaign team decided to extend the effort by one day. Within minutes of our announcement, donations began coming in, including large contributions from two core supporters whom are also life members of Adventure Cycling Association. These 11th hour donations helped us reach and then blow past our goal!

The final 24 hours of the Build It. Bike It. Be a Part of It. campaign generated unbelievable momentum: BikeFlights joined in as a last minute business supporter, and individual donors contributed over $3,800 to the effort -- the campaign's largest total donations raised in a single day!

We still expect some offline donations to arrive in the next week, and we'll do a full wrap up post soon to let you know the final campaign total. Until then, thank you all for your support as donors, members, Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and cyclists of every stripe!

If you didn't get a chance to donate yet and would like to do so, you can still donate on our Razoo page.

Thanks again everyone -- here's to building the largest official cycling network on the planet!
