Well, its official now the Livestrong Ride Series in its former incarnation is dead and gone. The site redirects to the Livestrong Challenge now and all the links have been changed to match. From what i can tell it is a change in name only as none of the fundraising levels, rewards, dates, etc. have changed. The additions are only the 10K run and the 5K Run/Walk components.

According to the Livestrong Challenge FAQ, it is not possible to participate in more than one event that weekend. It seems that the walk, run, and ride will all occur at the same time on Sunday. I wish it were seperated but it doesnt look like that will be the case. I’m just hoping that the start is very well organized with that many people, of varying endeavors, all starting on the same day.

Make sure to update all your fundraising links in any promotional materials, emails, websites, etc where you have placed it because those links are invalid now. As i found out when a friend pointed this out to me this morning. I really wish they had done a redirect for those links rather than letting them die. From making a living in computers i know that it isnt that hard to have a rewrite script on the old site to make sure no one’s links go dead. But oh well.
