A Bike Event

2007

The BP MS 150 Tour is a fund-raising event for the National MS Society, Lone Star Chapter.

This year it's April 21 and 22, 2007.
Here are my Champions!


Porter Taylor - This picture was taken at 6:25am Saturday morning just before we started our ride to Austin.  My son Andrew is on the far right end, then comes Lowell, who pulled me the last 20 miles or so both days, and next is yours truly (The smallest and fattest one of the bunch).  Scott is next to me.  So they put me between the two tallest guys on the ride.  Either one are great to ride behind as they produce a great draft.
