“You’ve spent a lifetime living in nature and traveling the world as a writer. What called you to live this life?” Laura Killingbeck answered this and many more questions about our upcoming Choose The Bear Tour yesterday on 88.1 The Park! Kicking off on May 20th, with support from orsa, Laura will begin a two-month-long journey cycling from the Upper Peninsula to Detroit to raise awareness and support for survivors of domestic and economic abuse in Michigan. Along the way she’ll connect with Michiganders, survivors, and non-profit partners to explore real women’s stories and share her journey. Want to hear Laura’s interview in its entirety?

As the 2026 presenting sponsor of the Boundless Grand Prix we spent this past weekend giving bear hugs to all the racers at the Waterloo G+G gravel event aid stations. Boundless is special because not only are the race series epic, the women’s elite division gets their own start AND they compete for the same size prize purse as the men. (Which is pretty rare…) She was meant for more, and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of celebrating some amazing Michigan athletes. PS: Did you spot orsa(tm) Creative Director Nikki Peters sporting her new Choose The Bear Tour jersey? It proudly supports this summer’s Michigan bike tour for economic abuse awareness with the legendary Laura Killingbeck. It kicks off May 20 at ChooseTheBearTour.org

Yesterday we welcomed the next generation of orsa fans to our Plymouth HQ for Take Your Child To Work Day.

We’ll cherish the joy, the smiles, and all the new core memories for years to come. And we know they will too!
