My husband and I have been driving from California for the last few years for my husband to ride in the MS 150 Houston to Austin. It is an Amazing ride, there are riders of all shapes and sizes and levels. It is for such a good cause that it inspired ME to get on a bike and I am riding in the Ventura, CA MS 150 in october. Remember its a FUN ride for a good cause. You dont HAVE to do the full 150. The first year my husband only rode 1 day. Standing at the finish line i wondered how a lot of the people made it that far....and if they can anyone can!
