Three months until we depart Yorktown for the rocky cliffs of the Oregon coast (hopefully not off the rocky cliffs of the Oregon coast). Might be a good time to get in shape. Also looking forward to the Wild West for MS event in Palm Beach, FL on March 21. Thanks to MS Cure Fund for making arrangements for us to head down to Florida to help out with the event and represent our group. Here's a link to the website: Wild West for MS.
Spring can't come soon enough for those of us in colder climates and we can't wait to hit the road in June. We are going to scout the route through Virginia on Monday to see what we're up against and to meet with some allies in the battle against MS. Working on getting custom jerseys for those crucial first impressions- no guarantees but I think most of us are going to look pretty sharp. We are also developing an impressive portfolio of services and activities that we can provide in localities along our route, including free bike tune-ups.
Bike Barn rules!

They grow up fast...
It seems like just yesterday we gave birth to Bike the US for MS- we were young and our hopes and dreams for our new creation were boundless. At times it was tough, as rearing any infant isn't complete without blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention the all-nighters and the occasional temper tantrum (no diapers thank goodness). But today we proudly stand on the cusp of a triumphant graduation into the toddler years, and although we occasionaly dust off the home videos for a trip down memory lane, from here on out its full speed ahead at a breakneck 18 mph.
The season for riding is upon us and we have less than four months to prepare our bodies and souls for the big one. Some unseasonably warm weather in Virginia promted the first few training rides of the year as some of the new members had the chance to take their new bikes for a spin. We encourage all members to ride as much as they can- if only a few miles a day to work, class, or the grocery store- to get their cycling muscles acclimated to daily use.
We have also been working on some exciting partnerships that could expand the scope of the organization and help us build a great foundation for the future. Look out MS- we are coming for you and we mean business! Stay tuned to find out exactly how we plan to make this happen...
We hope everybody in the MS community is doing well and looking forward to helping us meet our goals in 2009.
