Kate Hudson traveled with new beau Lance Armstrong to Canada over the weekend to help raise over $1 million dollars for cancer research on a fund-raising bike ride.

Armstrong hopped on his bike Saturday morning in the small town of Waterloo, Ontario – along with 40 other local residents – for a 117-kilometer “Ride With Lance” event. Donations were to raise money for cancer treatment for two nearby hospitals – Grand River Hospital in Kitchener and Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.

The couple – who have remained mum about their relationship – managed to have a romantic yet rugged mini-vacation before the race. They braved mosquito season for several days in Muskoka, a rustic, northern Ontario summer vacation enclave where Hudson’s mother, Goldie Hawn, has a cabin.

Then it was back to the big city. On Friday, Hudson took 4-year-old son Ryder out for lunch and ice cream in the trendy Toronto Yorkville shopping district and was also spotted with Armstrong’s kids (Luke, 8, and 6-year-old twin girls Grace and Isabelle) as he busied himself with pre-race festivities.

That night, Hudson and Armstrong were spotted hugging in the lobby of their midtown hotel in Toronto. “He was laughing and she was laughing and they put their arms around each other,” says one observer of the embrace. “It was sweet.”

After Saturday’s race, the actress joined Armstrong for a gala dinner at a country estate (where one thoughtful fellow guest presented them with cans of the insect repellant OFF!) and the couple happily posed for photos and chatted with the other participants about their kids and upcoming Father’s Day.

Asked if his kids like to ride bikes, Armstrong said, “They play flag football and do gymnastics,” says one guest.

“I was pretty starstruck,” says Tom Wideman, 47, a local businessman and one of the riders who rode up front with Armstrong during the bike ride. Wideman raised $42,000 for the fund-raising event and says the “down-to-earth, genuine” qualities of celebrities like Armstrong and Hudson is inspiring. “As a cancer survivor, Lance is very committed to take on the cause.”

BICYCLING champ Lance Armstrong had some trouble impressing new gal pal Kate Hudson the other night. Armstrong - strangely unaware of the reservation system at legendarily restrictive Rao’s, where regulars have their own tables and everyone else must wait months - thought he and Hudson might be able to walk into the East 114th Street eatery and be served. But he was out of luck, a spy reports. The managers apologized, but Armstrong and Hudson left hungry, searching for another restaurant.

Bless Kate Hudson's heart, we know that she's got the whole dingy-but-sweet romantic comedy heroine thing down to a science, but her acting muscles can only stretch so far. She's maintaining her code of silence about her Armstrong relationship. During her interview on The View, Hudson balked at the direct line of questioning from Barbara Walters with a bunch of blushing and goofy smiles.

She playfully told the ladies, "Yeah, I try not to talk about my personal life." Hmm, maybe the root of the problem is that she has a pretty damn active personal life.

OMG, I love this picture of Kate Hudson. It's so Farrah Fawcett, using that Liz Taylor White Diamonds lens that makes everything soft and beautiful. Kate got all gussied up for her guest appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien but you can rest assured that she didn't take the opportunity to spill the beans on her romance with Lance Armstrong.

When chatting with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show on Monday, she told the perky host that discussing her personal life "only causes more problems and more words taken out of context." You know, like we just did right there.

When pressed to discuss the relationship, she summarized her stance by saying, "It's better to let ... people speculate as much as they want to speculate." Ha. As if we need to be encouraged to speculate.
