Welcome!

Once again, Frances & I will be training for and riding in the BP MS-150. This event benefits the Multiple Sclerosis Society and is the largest MS-150 ride in the country! It has become a very popular event for Texas cyclists - registration opened in October and reached the maximum 13,000 registrants within a few weeks.

This will be my third MS-150, Frances' second. (Picture at left is from 2006 MS-150.) Once again we will be riding our tandem bicycle, which I have nicknamed 2rmalina, since it is a beautiful tourmaline color. Frances' sister from Santa Fe will be joining us this year (last year she was our driver).

Frances has been regularly using our spinning bike, but I've been a slug in the last couple of months. I started my training last Friday with an hour ride on Heights Blvd. - doing 3 laps. No training over the weekend, since were out of town doing care-taking for Frances' parents. We'll try to keep you up-to-date on our training progress.
