The MS 150 web site now says more than 11,000 riders made the Sunday ride, or 85% of those signed up. I also had problems with pacelines that didn't hold together, and my avg. speed was only 13.2 mph. Saw at least four riders down at various spots along the route, but just road rash, nothing serious. The wind after we left Bastrop was tough, and the route rather boring. Loved the parks and the crowds in Austin.
