Support My Trek to Find a Cause, Treatment and Cure for MS

If you've been following my training progress, you know that I'm not just doing this for me. I'm training this hard and riding in the Bike MS to support the research efforts to find the cause, a treatment, and ultimately a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Please support me and this cause by making a donation. No matter how small, every little bit will help. If your employer matches, I'd be happy to take care of the matching paperwork for you too.

You can donate online or mail a check to:
Bike MS: Valero Bike to the Beach
National MS Society
P.O. Box 4125
Houston, TX 77210
To ensure proper credit to my fundraising, please be sure to print my name on your check.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I can't wait to share the success of this year's ride!

Why Won't the Weather Cooperate?

We've had some nice weather this spring here in Texas. Unfortunately, most of it has been during the week. This weekend was no exception. We planned for two rides this weekend. Then I woke up in middle of the night Saturday morning to a torrential downpour. Guess we'll get to sleep in. The bummer is that you eat a certain way Friday night, skip happy hour, and go to bed early in order to be prepared for an early morning ride on Saturday morning. By noon, you wouldn't know that it had rained all night, but looking at the roads, there were still puddles everywhere.

Saturday afternoon we confirmed the weather forecast for Sunday morning and determined it wasn't possible to ride on Sunday. That ended up being a good decision. The winds were 20+ mph for the day on Sunday. I'm a wimp in the wind!

So another weekend of not riding. Next weekend is the Dallas MS 150. I've offered my services as a team photographer for Pete's team, The Feisty Devils.
