MS 150 Photos
Monday, April 18, 2005. Well, another great MS150 weekend has come and gone. A bit tired from riding 180 miles, but I'd gladly ride it next weekend again if I had the chance. The weekend has had its critics, myself included. But despite it all, it was simply a fabulous weekend. For the sheer size of the event, the level of organization is amazing. And the ride itself was fantastic. The blossoms were out, the weather was cooperative. Of the last four years doing the MS150, this one turned out to be my favorite yet. Check out some pics from the weekend.

About Multiple Sclerosis
MS is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. The symptoms include blurred or double vision, numbness or tingling in the limbs and can become as severe as paralysis and total loss of vision. Diagnosis usually occurs between the ages of 20 and 50, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects can be life-long. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are giving hope to those affected by the disease.
