That ride - the MS150, is that 150km or 150miles?

150 miles. :) It's a charity ride for Multiple Sclerosis.

Wow!!! That is close to 250km isn't it? You're brave to attempt that. It's good to hear that you're doing it for such a good cause. I know someone who was diagnosed 1-2yrs ago with MS and life is pretty tough for her.

Good luck with the ride, have fun and I hope you raise lots of money for MS!

Thanks so much! I did it last year and survived. LOL Made it the whole way too, but it was a long ride. Last year I collected $1,000, so I'll try to top that this year. :)

Wow - 250 K - now that is a bike ride! I'm sooo impressed! What a wonderful idea!

Good Luck!

Thanks, hillhugger! :) I smelled like a goat when I finished it last year! LOL Luckily, there was a high school where they let us shower. :D
