MS150 2009

Well I wanted to wait till I had more pictures, but I guess I can always add more later. Most of you know Ricky has an MS150 team. Last year was his first year to ride. I got to join the team and ride this year!! I was so excited and nervous and overwhelmed. I didn't know what to do with myself. Well Josh prayed for Hurricane like weather and God seamed to fit that into the schedule. The fist day was canceled, no part of the ride has ever been canceled in the last 25 years. Let it be know the first time I ride this happens! Well deep down I was bummed but at the same time I was screaming for joy!! But we did manage to get 20 miles in on Saturday, so that was good! We stayed in La Grange over night and rode out Sunday at 8am and headed to Austin. It was a long and fun ride I must say. Half the team finished way before the other half did. Me along with 3 others all finished at 5! Ricky waited for us and crossed the finish with us, and I thought that was great, having our team Capitan and my husband there for us!! So 74 miles and 9 hrs later we crossed the Finish with all smiles and a sunburn! It was fun and I will do it again anytime...with more practice that it! I need to get faster, 9 hrs on a bike is just crazy! Ricky, me, and Edward are doing the Dallas MS150 May 2nd and 3rd....Wish us Luck!!
