MS150 Bike Tour

July 2002

The MS150 is a 2-day, 150-mile bike tour that takes place throughout the country and is sponsored by the Multiple Sclerosis Society to raise money in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. MS is a chronic, progressive, and often disabling, disease of the central nervous system. It attacks the myelin that acts as insulation around the nerve fibers and symptoms can include everything from numbness in the limbs to paralysis or loss of vision. Even though we have already ridden the tour, you still have a chance to sponsor us by pledging your support and clicking the link below. A big “THANK YOU” to everyone who has already pledged their support.

The Bike Tour started from Storage Tek in Louisville, CO and we arrived there at 5:00 am for a bright and early starting time of 6:30 am. We rode on the MegaSaurass team of 25 riders captained by Brian Sandy. It was a very scenic ride north along the front range to Loveland where we had lunch and then continued up the Big Thompson Canyon into Estes Park where we spent the night camping. There was a steep one mile climb coming out of the canyon called Devil’s Gulch that really worked our legs. The following day started with a 7-mile climb and continued south into Boulder and then back to Louisville where we had a well-deserved beer. This was Kala’s first MS150 and my seventh and we both enjoyed it immensely. They have 700 volunteers who do an awesome job of organizing the ride to maximize the enjoyment of the riders.
