When asked how he developed the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein said, "I thought of that while riding my bike."
While bicycling in the BLue Ridge Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's 12th Annual STOP IN FOOD STORES MS 150 BIKE TOUR won't help you unlock the mysteries of quantum physics, it may be the smartest move you can make this summer.
More than 500 cyclists and 200 volunteers will participate in this premier summertime event that travels from Charlottesville to the John H. Kerr Reservoir on the Virginia/North Carolina border on the weekend of June 10th and 11th.
If cycling 150 (option of 200) sounds daunting, don't despair! One does not need to be an expert cyclist to ride in the MS 150. In fact, the National MS Society encourages amateurs by having rest stops stocked with healthy food and drink every 1015 miles along the route. There are also SAG (Support and Gear) vehicles patrolling the roads to give weary riders a lift, medics to provide onthespot medical care and even bike mechanics to take care of flat tires and other problems along the road.
The STOP IN FOOD STORES MS 150 BIKE TOUR offers airconditioned overnight accommodations, entertainment (Mando Mafia band), and meals at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia. The tour ends Sunday, June 11th, at the John H. Kerr reservoir where a finish line celebration awaits complete with swimming, great food, and transportation back to Charlottesville.
Cyclists collect pledges to support MS research and fund local programs that provide people with MS with accurate information, help themfind and keep jobs, and help families cope with the disease all things that improve the quality of life for people with MS.
For more than 50 years the Society has provided hope and help for more people with MS than any other national voluntary MS organization hope through our 300 national and international research programs, and help through services that improve the quality of life for families affected by MS.
