MS Bike Tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MS Bike Tour or MS 150 refers to any of a series of charity bicycle rides organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in various locations around the United States.
The purpose of the rides is to raise money for the multiple sclerosis research done by the National MS Society. The rides badged 'MS 150' typically take place over the course of two days and, as the name implies, are generally around 150 miles long. There are also other shorter, 1-day rides. The rides generally leave from and arrive at large cities in order to be accessible to the most people. The rides vary greatly in the number of participants. One ride, from Houston to Austin, has been capped at 13,000 riders in 2006 to prevent overcrowding.
