Rode my bicycle from Houston to Austin this weekend - level SORE

Last weekend, I participated in the MS 150 bicycle tour from Houston to Austin to raise money for the MS Society.  It's a crippling disease for which there is currently no cure.  I'm really sore, but I'm glad I did it.  This is the second time I've done it, and I averaged 15.3 miles through the full 180 miles in two days.

If you'd like to donate to the MS society in my name, just follow this link: http://ms150.org/edon.cfm?id

This is the first year that there was a Texas A & M riding team, and we had a blast.  We had 75 members, and Saturday night in La Grange, we woke up the campgrounds with an Ol' Army yell practice.  I look forward to next year and an even bigger Aggie team.

My brother took a lot of pictures and some movies.

Congrats on the ride. I was scheduled to ride in the tour from Dallas to Oklahoma. I know that I can do the distance, but unfortunately I had heart surgery scheduled for this month that was rescheduled and turned into a bigger thing than originally discussed. I just don't have enough recovery time to make sure that I can do it and I don't want to commit if I can't meet my obligations.

Again, congrats on the ride. 150 miles is certainly an accomplishment!

What type of bike do you have?

I have a Schwinn frame with misc parts attached. The bikes from the store cost way too much money, and I think mine works just as good. It has the narrow 700 tires, handlebar shifters, clipless pedals, etc.
