Sorry if you haven't registered yet for the 2008 Houston-Austin MS150 scheduled April 12-13, but they've already reached 100% capacity (13,000 riders) today in just the first 11 days of open registration. Wow!

This is a very well run, enjoyable event, albeit with many new riders. I will be riding for a friend that has had this debilitating disease for many years. If you are interested in supporting the cause dedicated to ending the effects of multiple sclerosis, please feel free to donate any amount large or small at this link http://www.ms150.org/edon.cfm?id=205632. Thanks!

Hey Ken,

Thanks for riding and raising money for NMSS! I was diagnosed with MS last year on the day I turned in my accumulated donations from the Valero Bike to the Beach. I appreciate your efforts and those of the thousands of other riders signing up to ride.

For those who didn't get their registrations in before it closed, do keep in mind that we have several other MS150s in Texas that are great rides, including the Valero Bike to the Beach from San Antonio to Corpus Christi in October and the Dallas to Ft Worth ride in May. I have ridden in the BtB twice and it is a great ride, and I have heard from other riders that the new route of the Dallas ride with the overnight stop at Texas Motor Speedway is a really nice ride as well. So if you didn't get in the Houston to Austin ride, please consider riding in one of the other rides. All of us with MS and those whose family members and friends suffer from the disease appreciate the help and support!
