Cycled 150 Miles this weekend, down 123 Lbs

cyclingben

I decided i would post a few of my photos on here from this weekend. I completed the MS150 - which is a fundraising ride for Multiple Sclerosis. 86 Miles the first day and 65 the second. Total ride time for me was 9.5 hrs at an avg speed of 16 mph. It was a beast because north texas is not flat but i can mark it off of my bucket list. We raised over 2.3 Million dollars and there was over 3k riders.

Remarkable accomplishment.. A true NSV... (I was wondering how you managed to lose 123 lbs in a weekend of bike riding... I was about to go out and buy a bike if it were that easy... LOL>)

Amazing job! I would love to get on my bike more, but can only handle an hour at a time of sitting on that thing. Great ride and great organization!

C-O-N-G-R-A-T-S!!!

You look awesome! Way to go on finishing the big MS150 ride - you look like you could've ridden it all over again.

I'm doing my 4th MS150 in June...it can be challenging just dealing with so many other riders! Nice job!

Congrats on the ride! Are those your new wheels on the bike? They really rock!

And you look great! Such a difference from the "before" pictures. You look so happy and healthy.

I am riding in the MS 150 in October....(doing 50 each day so am only doing 100 miles total) Wonder if I can change my mind on that and do the full ride....
