MS150 - I mean MS65

Well this weekend was the big ride...however, the weather had other plans...Let's just say LaGrange got 12 inches of rain on Friday and the Anadarko tent was one of many that collapsed...And compliments of another storm system coming through on Saturday, the MS Society cancelled the first day of the ride...for the first time ever :( on the 25th anniversary...

Luckily it didn't slow us down, we rode to La Grange on Saturday to stay at the River Valley Motor Inn, compliments of Jonathan's great fund raising!!! And I must say, it is much easier to get there in Matt's truck than on my bike!!!

Sunday was okay, the wind was killer, but luckily I snuck in behind Jeremy and let him pull me to Austin! I owe him big! Along with Doug and Jonathan!!! Otherwise I would probably still be around Bastrop today! All and all it was a great weekend!!! And I was able to raise a lot of money for such a wonderful cause!!! And if you still would like to donate the link below will work until May 12th!!! I am getting close to my goal, only $150 to go!!!

On to the pictures:

Our fabulous road crew, bagging and duct taping the bikes for the rain! They did a fabulous job, our bikes arived bone dry!
Glad Amy was there to supervise!

Ready to roll...pretty impressive! 4bikes all in trashbags...classy!
Matt took Erin's bike around for test ride...he looked a little like a circus bear on it...might be a little small... Amy practicing for future riding...learning to drink out of a squirt bottle is key!
Our fancy room! It was uber plush :) but at least we didn't have to drive from Houston Sunday morning!
How we spent Saturday instead of riding 100 miles :)
Riding into the finish - Jeremy, me, Doug, Erin and Jonathan...
I think this might have been the happiest I have ever been to see the capitol!
Group shot with the capitol!
Amy at the capitol, she was quite impressed by the whole day! There were so many people to see...She even got excited as we rode by! I don't think she recognized the spandex, but she heard me yelling at her :)
Family shot...
My road crew! Thanks again guys!
