Okay, so I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a big impressive race picture on a road bike, so this will have to do.

This year I am participating in the MS 150, a one hundred eighty two mile bike ride from Houston to Austin benefitting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This is such an important organization and a wonderful event. Having seen the devastating effects this disease has had on people I care about makes this ride that much more personal to me. I hope you will help support my effort to raise funds for this ride. I'm not demanding that you get on a bike and ride 182 miles (I guess I'LL do that part); I am simply asking for as generous a donation as you care to make to this exciting and very worthwhile endeavor. Thanks so much!

...and no, I'm not doing the ride on the big wheel!
