Kevin Kilbrei
Kevin can remember riding his bike as a five or six year old, proclaiming to other neighbourhood kids that he was as fast as a speeding bullet. His love for riding has continued to grow, although he has come to realize that he is nowhere as fast as he once believed. Today, Kevin rides for fun and races competitively not only for the physical benefits, but for the sense of personal accomplishment and the feeling of community. Riding and racing with like-minded people, such as my fellow Team CMU members, is something he thoroughly enjoys—and the friendly competitive spirit between us keeps things interesting and motivates us to push our limits.
Kevin is married to Debbie Kroeker and is the father of Ben (9), Kate (7), and Margo (5). Kevin graduated from MBCI (‘90) and currently is employed in the Marketing and Corporate Communications group at Pollard Banknote in Winnipeg and also serves on the Camp Arnes board of directors. He and his family attend The Meeting Place in Winnipeg.
Sorry I wasn’t there when you got home, wasn’y sure I’d make it to work if I did, but have been following through the last 65 ish hours with you guys. CONGRATS!!!! I am very proud of you guys and the money you raised is going to help many students.
Welcome home
Yayyy!!! Finis!!! Are you all going to be there to greet Gogos and Arvid, too??? What a wonderful way to spend 2:43 a.m. on a summer night in Winnipeg, Manitoba, I wish I could have been there…opportunity missed. But I’m soaking up all the blogs and twitters and videos….soooo proud and happy, and entertained!!!
You guys are amazing. It looks like you’re getting stronger as the hours pass. Now all that is left is to blow away the old bitties and head home.
I’d like to be there when you arrive but that is the exact time I get my warm milk and cookies.
Hi Kevin,
Any special request for your arrival at the Leg?
Looking like too much fun goin on – you don’t want this to end.
Gonna miss this. The twittering in from the border has been great!
Great job guys!!
Whisky-Daddy,
You are awesome and I hope you’re having a good time. You rock so much! You are the best dad ever.
Love,
KK Jr.
P.S. How long are your whiskies* now?
*Note to readers: whiskies = facial hair
Kate calls KK Whisky-Daddy based on his facial stubble, not his beverage preferences. I wonder what I should call him based on his LEG stubble, which may currently be at its peak…? DK
How about Ms. Kilbrei? Or Leg Stubble Hubby?
Daddy,
I have a song for you and the only two words in it are “Super Daddy”. I sing it all day long. I will sing it for you at the finish line.
Love,
Margo
You have never seen the kids so proud of their heroic dad! Your team is lucky to have a RRR member on the team. Have they admitted that yet?
Great job and see you at the finish line…much sooner than expected!

Good Morning Kevin!
Incredible night riders – Incredible drive – Incredible will!!!
Enjoy the last day of this historic journey!
Great Job!!
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Way to go Team CMU!!!! We are watching and waiting for updates every hour!
You guys are an incredible team!! There is some serious hero worship waiting for you all when you get home!
P.S. Note to self – resist the urge to slap a granny on the fanny when you pass her!!!
Go KK GO!!!
You guys rock, I feel like I’m there with you with each update. But sadly I’m not, instead painting my house in a city you’ll be arriving at in no time! Painting is hard, grueling work, requiring much will and determination…you have no idea!
Go get him!

Dear Uncle KK,
