Greetings Everyone,

Believe it or not I do other things besides Clipper repairs and camping. One of the ways I stay in shape (yeah right.... you see my gutt in those photos) is cycling.

I complete several charity rides each year. The longest ride is the MS150. It's a two-day 180-mile ride from Houston to Austin. Click http://www.ms150.org/ms150/ to read about the MS150. I also do another MS150 sponsored ride from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. That ride is 140 miles and held in October. In addition, I do 140-mile ride from Houston to Lake Summerville and back. The American Lung Association sponsors it as well as a 90 mile ride from Houston to Shiner Texas (home of Brewerly that make Shiner Bock beer.

At any rate, I'd like for those who can to sponsor me for the MS150 ride to Austin on April 16-17 2005. You can donate directly to the Mutiple Schelrsis Society on my behalf via credit/debit card online or you can send me a check made payable to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Doesn't matter how much you give because anything will help. I have to raise a minimum of $300 to participate. In 2003 I raise $1,180.  I'd like to beat that this year.

Please help me to raise as much as I can to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. If anyone is interested in supporting me, please send me a PM and I give you more detail as to how to give.

Morning of the ride April 2003. Didn't ride in 2004 because we had our second child (Sydney who just turn 1) shortly before the actual ride. Didn't have time for training. Not that I've train that much this year!




Below, is the overnight stop after riding 100 miles. I was pretty tired of Gatoraid so you see what's in my hand. That's my son Cameron who about to turn 4 years old next month.
