MS150 2009 Houston to Austin

[txred9876]

Like every year it is a fantastic event, but most importand is to help!
Unfortunatly the first day had to be cancelled, because of sever rain. Campsite was under water, Tents collapsed, oh what a mess. What a logistic nightmare, but the MS Society pulled it off, great job...fantastic cause. I will be there again and again!

Donation collection is hard for me, I don't know so many people and the most people I know are bikers and they biked the MS150.

So if there is anybody out there which like to help, here is my link:

Yep...I did the ride.
I flew from Florida to do the ride. Bummer and unbelievable that the first day was canceled. But I think they did an excellent job w/ the start in La Grange.
What a head wind. I am pretty used to the head wind in Florida...but not hills. But I think it hit everyone hard...I did a lot of passing.
Was pretty amazing at the mass of people! Saw a few accidents...some after the fact, heard some happen behind me and witnessed one. With that many people in one place...I am not surprised!

Off to do the South Florida MS 150 first weekend in May. I suspect a head wind on the way down...hopefully next day is a tailwind as we return. Hope no rain!
And I suspect there will not nearly be as many people!

Katluvr,

great you came to Texas to ride the MS150.

I did it too.

The ride was easy because it's only half the length. I was planning to take the express route but somehow ended up in the park. Hell a lot of hills!

Because of the cancellation on Saturday, my hubby and I got to visit San Antonio. What a nice vacation for us!

Love Texas, love the cyclists!

Katluvr, have you done MS-150 on Long Island, NY? It's not a huge event, only 300-500 riders, minimum $250 donation. Hold in September every year.
