Folks, I wouldn't do this if it weren't for such a great cause. I am riding in the annual Utah State MS-150 later this month. MS is a "scum-sucking pig of a disease," according to actress Teri Garr. She should know--she has it. So do about half a million other people, including Montel Williams, Annette Funicello, Roman Gabriel, Ann Romney, Louise Mandrell, J. K. Rowling's mother, and my daughter. (If there's one thing worse than being diagnosed with MS, it's being diagnosed with MS when you're still just a kid!) People all over spend money on feeling good all the time, on things like restaurants, shows, and trips. I'm offering y'all a chance to spend some money on feeling great, and it's a feeling that lasts longer than most. Donations in any amount large or small are welcome. If you're interested in making a donation and a difference, please e-mail me for more info.
Many thanks, Bill

Enjoy. I did the MS-150 last fall in So-Cal. It is definitely a worthy cause but the organizers didn't have a clue about riding bikes. They chose a route through the most traffic congested streets in LA and San Diego. This year I promised my friends I would donate instead of ride. I hope your organizers are actually cyclists.

The organizers of our area MS-150 aren't cyclists, but they are open to the input of the riders. Over the past few years the route has evolved to obviate some higher traffic areas, to include more scenic and 'restful' rest stops and even re-routed to help ease (or eliminate, using an 'alternative finish line) a hard climb at the end of the first day.
And now, here's a shameless plug for our local MS150:
It's a terrific event with a great group of cyclists in a truly beautiful area. One of the nicest things is that this is still a relatively small event (last year we had ~150 riders), so you have the chance to get to know people and not get lost in the crowd.

This ride used to be in the Park City area, and crossed three dams, leading it to be known as "Utah's Best Dam MS 150" for quite a few years. But that route also included some tough hills and tricky roads. We now ride in the area around Logan, UT, crossing briefly into Idaho. The roads are mostly rural, rest stops mostly in town parks and very well supplied. Start/finish, headquarters, and campground are all located on the county fairgrounds. The president of my company (the event's title sponsor) and the division head who is in charge of our sponsorship, are both dedicated roadies. I've even turned roadie myself this year, buying my first skinny-wheeler in many years to ride in the event instead of my tough but slow hardtail. Enjoy? I guarantee I will...
