CowaLUNGa Bike Tour

06/12/2026

Before there was a cow suit, there were three people with a wild idea and a lot of Wisconsin spirit. 🐄

In 1997, Susie Burns, Rob Burns, and Todd Mitchell helped turn a blank slate into the CowaLUNGa® Charity Bike Tour. In Year 1, they exceeded their fundraising goal by 150%.

29 years later, we sat with them to get their full story: https://resphealth.org/how-the-cow-got-its-spots/

Digging through the archives and look what we found 📸

These throwbacks are from the 20th anniversary, and we cannot believe 10 more years have already passed. As we approach the 30th and final ride, we want to see YOUR memories too.
