I am training for another MS 150 Bike Tour. This is a fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis society. I ride in honor of my father-in-law who was diagnosed several years ago.

This will be my 4th ride. I have to admit that my training is not as fervent as it has been in years past. Life gets busy, and you have to make choices. I really love riding my bike. A lot. I LOVE my bike. I feel guilty missing so much time with the kids, though. My yard also suffers greatly.

I have done well with my fundraising in the past, which suprised me at first. The very first time I did it I made the Top 100 list -- I was the #53 fundraiser of the whole lot). I had never done any fundraising to speak of, so I didn't really know what I was doing.

I picked a different MS 150 to ride in, which was in a different time of the year. Last year I made the Top 100 for that one! Whoa.

This year I will get to ride with a special number, which is pretty cool.

I'm not sure if I will ride again next year. I may take a break. We'll see. For now it's time to get gerared up. That pun was intended.

Here is my fundraising link if you feel inclined to make a donation. Any amount is appreciated. http://www.ms150.org/edon.cfm?id=218793
