Velonews.com reminds us that the Frisco Suprdrome has been around for 10 years.

Located on the Preston Ridge Campus of Collin County Community College District, the Superdrome in Frisco is a joint partnership between the City of Frisco and CCCCD. In the early 1990’s as the city of Frisco was preparing for future growth and infrastructure for residents and visitors, it was approached by EDS with a vision developed by its Global Sports Marketing Division Manager and world-champion cyclist Nick Chenowth for a premier sporting venue that would bring attention to Frisco, provide a showcase for technology and positively impact the community, particularly in regards to youth sports development.

Blogger Kevin (?) writes about his weekend ride in the Sam’s MS150 trip from Frisco to Fort Worth in his blog.

His blog post “Bonking across Texas” recounts:

Here’s how things unfolded:…

Frisco resident Derek Smith said he was scared when he learned as a teen-ager that his father had multiple sclerosis. Smith and his family knew little about the disease that afflicted an otherwise healthy and fit man.

Over the past 18 years he has watched the disease of the central nervous system take its toll on his father.

“Since [1990] we’ve learned quite a bit about it,” he said. “We spent a couple years trying to figure out what it meant, because it didn’t seem like he was that different, but over two decades now it’s to the point where he is wheelchair-bound and unable to work the same way he did before.”

Velonews.com reports that the Texas’ Superdrome schedule has been released. From the VeloNews article:
