Registration for the wildly popular but space-limited MS 150 charity bike ride from Houston to Austin will open precisely at 10:15 a.m. Oct. 15.

That’s an odd time to open registration, but it’s the least of your problems. Just do it, so you don’t get shut out.

If you want to ride, click on www.ms150.org. It will cost $100 to register, and you have to promise to donate at least $400 more to the Lone Star Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Charity.

It only took 11 days for the 2008 ride to fill up.
