Second Annual Bike Through the Forest – Coldspring, TX

Texbiker.net Posted on by

This year’s ride will be in Coldspring, Texas just north of Cleveland. Not only will you have three different length routes …….. each are filled with hills and absolutely beautiful scenery. The town of Coldspring is the county seat for San Jacinto County. It is very small and quaint town and the residents are some of nicest people in Texas. The ride will start at the courthouse and after the ride, I know several of you will want to visit the shops right across the street. The local cafes and restaurants have great food and will be ready to serve you a great meal following the ride.

Countdown to the 2008 SAM’S CLUB MS 150

Texbiker.net Posted on by

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Lone Star Chapter is starting its 100-day countdown to the 2008 SAM’S CLUB MS 150, one of the largest non-profit cycling events in the United States.

Approximately 4,000 cyclists are expected to participate in this year’s two-day fund-raising event, which rides from Frisco to downtown Fort Worth on May 3 – 4 with an overnight stop at Texas Motor Speedway. Already, 1,500 riders have signed up for this spring roll through the Metroplex.

The registration fee is $25 per rider, but that fee doubles to $50 on Feb. 1. Organizers are encouraging everyone to sign up now to save $25 a piece. Online registration is available at MS150.org.

Last year, 3,000 SAM’S CLUB MS 150 riders and sponsors raised a record $2.3 million to support MS research and services for Texans living with multiple sclerosis.

The SAM’S CLUB MS 150 is one of three Texas fund-raising rides hosted by the National MS Society, Lone Star Chapter. The others are the Houston-to-Austin BP MS 150 in April and the San Antonio-to-Corpus Christi Valero MS 150 in October.
