BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

This will be my 8th year. Team thick is huge. A good number of people on the board are doing it. My aunt has MS. It is a bummer.

my daughter is riding in it

I'm kind of bummed I didn't have time to fundraise to do the ride this year. It was a great ride the year that I did it with the thick bikes team.

Hey, wait -- something just occurred to me. Spak Bros? First rest stop? Breakfast pizza!

spoke cards will definitely be here in time for me to bring them to the team thick dinner, and have a bunch of extras to sell on the ride!

I'm doing the ride!

ideally by friday, technically by july 14th.

This my 7th year, with one year driving the sag van after knee surgery. Looking forward to be a rider again, fo sho!

I want one!

I am in (for my 5th MS150), and on Team Thick this year! I'm also camping. I don't think I've been camping in 20 years. I bought a tent/pad/bag when I was planning on doing the GAP, but I've never used it... so I hope I'll be able to sleep.

Last year a tandem ended up on top of an entrance to a building. It can get rowdy. We sleep in the dorms now :)

ugh, stef - now i'm feeling like I made a horrible mistake. I've always slept in the dorms before but I always felt like a wuss. Then I forgot to check for rooms until I missed out on the A/C rooms, so I figured why not...

just set up in the family camping area and then hang out at camp thick until you've had enough partying.

We needed a special place for the tandem. I am riding this year so I don't anticipate being a late night instigator again. But I am sure there will be someone to take my place.

I'll be there with my magic protective slo-moving vehicle triangles, please say Hey when you pass me. Vannevar.

http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/ericapeters88 thanks to everyone who donated! I need to raise $90 today, though.

Beautiful ride, couldn't ask for nicer weather.
