You Did It! Thanks for a Great Ride!
And THAT is how we roll in Texas!
THANK YOU for joining the 2008 BP MS 150! You made cycling from Houston to Austin look like a breeze -- literally!
You did something that had -- and will continue to have -- a profound impact on the lives of 400,000 Americans with MS. We couldn't
help them without you! While we couldn't do anything about that weekend wind, we did make sure we did everything possible to ensure
you had a safe and memorable ride from beginning to end. On behalf of everyone at the National MS Society, Lone Star Chapter and everyone
we serve, THANK YOU for being a truly big wheel on our shared journey toward a world free of MS!
We've Got a Great Date for You
The 25th Annual BP MS 150 rolls out April 18-19, 2009. Registration details will be posted on this site once available.
Rider Pin Available at Office or Awards Parties
If you failed to pick up a 2008 rider pin at the Austin Finish Line on Sunday, you can either get it (one per rider) at the chapter’s Austin or Houston office or at either awards party this June while supplies last. As good stewards of the donations that support MS research and services for persons with MS in the Lone Star Chapter, we do not mail rider pins because of the collective expense.
Completion Certificates Now Available Online
If you failed to pick up a 2008 Completion Certificate at the Austin Finish Line on Sunday, you can easily print yours here:

Also print an Appreciation Certificate to those who donated to you or helped you during the 2008 BP MS 150 season.
