Our Riders

This weekend Chris and Michaela rode in the MS150 again.  They have been training for the last four months to ride for a cure.  They each raised several hundred dollars for Multiple Sclerosis research.  We are very proud of their efforts!  Also, thank you to those that gave towards this great cause. 

Last year they took the shorter of three routes each day, which is 40 miles each day.  This year they opted for the middle route of 75 miles on the first day, then the shorter route on the second day.  They were both pretty tired yesterday, but were feeling better today after the easier ride.

 The welcoming gang!  There are always several volunteers at the finish line to welcome in the riders with bells, whistles, horns, clapping, and lots of whoops and hollers.

 Yes, someone didn't quite get enough sunscreen on.  Ouch!

 Crossing the finish line on day two after a total of 115 miles!  Woo hoo!

The riders each get thank you medals for their efforts.  We're proud of you Chris and Michaela!
