For all my cycling friends and those who used to ride:
My 5th year riding to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This year I rode a total of 180 miles in 2 days and 27 donors gave over $1100 to support my effort. Overall there were over 2400 riders in this event raising about 1.6 million dollars (total figures not in yet) to help find a cure for and to directly support the over 5200 people in our part of the state who are living with MS. Some of these people are close friends and many we have come to know from doing these yearly rides.
Karen and I rode the Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Historic New Bern Bicycle Tour on Saturday, September 11 and Sunday, September 12 to raise money for the MS Society and to support our friends and the thousands of folks in Eastern North Carolina who have Multiple Sclerosis. This is the “ride report” that I sent out to my donors but I wanted to share it here, too. This is a special event for me and I always encourage my friends to join us. Yes, you could do this, too. More info at the bottom of the post. Thanks to my friends who helped me raise $1500 for the Eastern North Carolina Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society!

We will be riding …
