This past week, I learned that a good friend of mine has 'probable' MS. She's doing well taking medication and doing specific exercises, but it generally sucks. Since then, I've seriously been tossing around the idea of riding the MS-150 this August (Berea to Sandusky, Ohio and back). It would be cool to help the cause.

Who here at bikeforums has ever ridden the MS150, either all 150 miles or part of it? What was your motivation? In what city did you ride it? How do you train for something like this? Did you ride as a single or part of a team? :confused: I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Of course, if I am able to comfortably do 75 miles a day in August (my goal), it would only make sense that I plan my first century ride for, say, September or October. What's 25 more miles, right?
