"Welcome to Bike The US For MS - four guys dedicated to raising money for Multiple Sclerosis research by way of a coast to coast bicycle tour. On August 1st (2007)we will quit our jobs and begin the 4,000+ mile journey."
The journey was completed and successful!
"We have gotten tons of excellent feedback from people who noticed our info on (this) website. We are planning to lead another ride in 2009 - but this time for anyone and everyone who wants to join us. We hope to raise more awareness and do more volunteering along the way. We learned a lot from the first ride and can't wait to try again. We only raised $20,000 the first time and think we can do much better next time."
