If you are wanting to stay at a hotel for the MS150 you better hurry up. They are going fast. First one I called was sold out. The next one I called was about to be. Sleep Inn is sold out. Motel 6 has a few left.

Anyone interested/available to ride the BikeMart rides 11/27? I’m looking at the 29 mile Tour de Plano…9:11 I think? Dress for it…should be a chilly start…

If you are a Christian Cyclist riding the 2011 BikeMS Frisco to Ft. Worth (TX), please join us for fun, fellowship, food and various other words that start with F!
See our current team page here:
http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/TXHBikeEvents?team_id=219926&pg=team&fr_id=16031
The registration price goes up as we get closer to the ride, so join in as soon as you can! We are partnering again this year with I Am Second, PowerFM and Interstate Batteries to make this a fantastic event.
We raised just short of $10,000 in 2010 for the MS Society, and will be looking to make our team bigger, faster, stronger and most importantly…better fundraisers!!!
Keep coming back here for more info as we get closer on registration issues, team jerseys, training rides, etc.
Thanks!

9 members of team IC3-I am Second made their way out to Lancaster, TX last Saturday for a BikeMS training ride in preparation for the upcoming BikeMS on May 1-2.
We had members along each of the 3 routes (approx 20, 40 and 63 miles) and all finished with smiles on their faces. For some it was the longest ride of the year as they work towards being able to complete the BikeMS distances.
As far as I heard, there were no mechanical issues, crashes or muscle issues other than general “soreness”.
All of us were sporting either an IC3 jersey or the new team jersey for the BikeMS event, featuring I am Second, Power 89.7 FM and Interstate Batteries.
This 63 mile route is a good one, with good old-fashioned Texas chip seal roads, a few smooth spots, some very challenging hills and a coupe of screaming descents. With only one exception, the course is well marked and marshaled. Email sent to the organizer on the exception. Great rest stops with friendly people.
I’m looking forward to this ride next year, as are many of our riders. Well done and kudos to Greater Dallas Bicyclists.

I got Monday off, so I’m headed out to White Rock for a bunch of laps. Computer avg 16-18mph, probably with some intervals thrown in to keep from getting bored.
3408 W. Lawther in Dallas….plug that into Google Maps and it will put you in exactly the right parking lot.
Look for my green Ford Ranger. Prayer and wheels down at 9:30. If you are late, ride the lake counter-clockwise until you see me/us.

Members of IC3 and team IC3-I am Second gathered for a training ride yesterday afternoon at White Rock Lake in Dallas.
All told, we had 16 riders from 8 years old to 57, making up three different groups of skill levels. 8 of them are junior riders. 2 of them are youth ministers. We even had a dad sporting a new bike and helmet out for a spring break ride with his family!
Some riders did 1 lap, some as many as 4. Some of the faster juniors were doing 30 second intervals of hard effort to prep for track racing season at the Superdrome.
This ride couldn’t have been more diverse if we tried…but it worked out really well for everyone involved.
Hope to see you on the next one!

IF the weather permits, we will be attempting to do a Fellowship/BikeMS training ride at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday 2/28/10 at 2pm
Map:
5 miles, do as many or as few laps as you like, any speed. This is a good way to push yourself beyond your comfort zone, since you are never more than 2.5 miles away from your car.
If its raining, or below 40 degrees, I will not be there…but you can feel free to go on out! 
This is open to anyone…BikeMS teams, casual riders, recumbents, tandems, whatever. Minors should be accompanied by an adult of course.
Thanks,
Kevin

Yesterday was a beautiful day to ride!
On very short notice, cyclists from 8 years old to 70 came out to White Rock lake to get in a few laps of training in the sun.
Our youngest and oldest riders each did one full lap (9.3 miles), others did two mid-pace and a couple of hotshots did a full-on race-pace lap in under 28 minutes.
The wind was a bit of a challenge, but everyone seemed to have a good time.
Keep an eye out here, twitter and Facebook for more “impromptu” rides!
