Today's the day I leave for the MS-150, a two-day, 180-mile bike ride from Houston to Austin, Texas. I'll be riding along with 12,000 other friends and strangers to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This is my third year to do the ride.
Am I ready? Hmm. I'm not sure I can ever be "ready" for a 180-mile bike ride. It is definitely hard. It's also fun to be doing this with nearly a hundred of my co-workers. And I take pride in my own personal accomplishment, as well as being able to help the National MS Society.
My goal is to raise $1500 for the society. The National MS Society is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation may be tax deductible. Your donation benefits thousands of people affected by multiple sclerosis. You can donate online here...

Good luck with the race!
Hey, thanks!
We had a great time. The weather was nearly perfect. The wildflowers were in bloom. We had a tailwind. And I finished safely.
Thanks to all the people who donated to the cause. (It's not too late to donate! Use the link above.) Thanks to the 100 member NICycling team and all the volunteers who helped out.
