MS150 this weekend

ABV · 06-13-2006

It was awesome. I'm still a little tired, but not too sore (except for my knees). It was all in all a great experience. I would highly reccomend it to anyone. And if you think it sounds too hard, I met a guy with a prosthetic leg, and his 11 year old daughter who were riding in this event, and are thinking about signing up for the MS150 in Wisconsin later this year as well. If these guys can do it, then just about anyone can.

I'll have more to post later. Gotta get back to work.

Wow, a huge thanks to everyone who contributed (Jana).

I met my pledge goal, with a little help from myself.

But more importantly, the team I was on, met our fundraising goal of... Can you guess?

$75,000!!!

I don't think the final tally for the event has been totaled yet, but on the website, it says that it's approximately $2,000,000 for this one event. Today is the pledge deadline, so the numbers should be finalized in the next few weeks.

Anyone up for doing this next year? I'm already signed up. If it sounds like too much, there's also a shorter ride in May of either 30 or 60 miles. I'm probably going to sign up for that one too. If anyone is interested, or has any questions, let me know.
