Bike MS: The Mother Road Ride - Route 66 Oklahoma

[Kvixen23]

Hi All,

I will attempting my first really big benefit ride next month!! I am very excited!! I did my first century ride last September but I'm amping it up a notch this year. I hope to complete the 150 mile, 2 day ride, as successfully as I did my first (& only) century.

Of course, as with all big benefit rides, I am raising money for the cause, Multiple Sclerosis. I will be riding with my husband, dear friend and a co-worker. We are riding as "Team Sunbeam." Sunbeam Family Services is a non-profit organization that does everything from early childhood education to foster care, to senior services for homeless seniors. We have been in Oklahoma for 100 years helping people at "all ages at all stages of life."

If you can help our team reach our goal we would greatly appreciate the assistance. The funds go to the National MS society to benefit people living with MS. You can use the link below to access the Oklahoma Chapter where you can do a search to find our team.

Thank you in advance for your support!!!

Very cool!!! I was actually going to do this, and had trained with a group- but had to pull out because of previous commitments. I wish it were the next weekend and I'd be able to go.
I hope you raise the funds and have a GREAT time!!! Please report back on the ride and tell us how it goes. My thoughts will be with you.

Thank you for your thoughts.....I'll report back as soon as I recover from the ride!!! I can't wait!!

Kvixen - good luck on your MS ride! I'm doing the training rides for our Ms ride (south Louisiana) the first weekend of October. After today's ride, I think I can do it. On hot muggy days, I tend to think otherwise. The rides are great fun, and the volunteers are terrific. And yes, your buns will get numb. Motrin is your friend.

I've made it to 70% of my stated goal of $500!!! Yeah!!!

Thank you to all who have supported me.

My husband just started a new job and would love to put a team together but he doesn't have the time for this year. Hopefully next year! Maybe by then I just might try it.
