2015 BikeMS-TeamBikeMart Sunday May 3rd

It's 6:00 in the morning. The moon is still out.

Morning line up ready to ride to Sundance Square in Ft.Worh. Today will be 73.4 miles. Oh all right let's call it 74 miles

Greg Russell riding by.

It's nice to know there are country roads close to the metroplex.

And big fields.

More donkeys.  I'm sure most of you know this. You'll find them with cattle,horses,sheep and goats.

They will fight off coyotes.

Sam doing Sam work.

This was the first rest stop with bike holders. They cheered pretty good as riders rode in.

So leaving the last rest stop with 13 miles to go. We all heard the worst noise. Better yet I felt it.

Fortunately I was able to stop without falling. Off the bike and looking back my dérailleur 

Was wrapped up in my wheel. The hanger had snapped off. We could not figure out what went wrong

Sam had the dérailleur in his hand,I asked him what the green wire was. Well that was the culprit.

It was wound up in the cassette. Those who know me I hate to give up riding. So we all commiserated 

Called for a sag back to the last rest stop. Dana was on his way there. Hopefully he would have a hanger.

This was the amazing sag "flight #11. They called themselves

If you stop real fast you too can have a tire that looks like this.

Sam in thinking mode. This is where he says "Ahhh Geese!"

Dana wasn't able to repair my bike"BB" so I got to ride with him to the finish line at Sundance Square.

Popcicle makes the ride cooler.

This is the first time I've seen Buddy smile. Buddy is always with Dana at any of the events he 

Mechanics for.

There are the ride guys for the day. Sean,Jeff and Sam

Teresa crosses the finish line with her sister Elizabeth .

Now she's ready to relax.

The ride is over, the party is winding down. Hopefully there will be a Victory ride one day soon 

to celebrate  "Kicking MS's Ass"

Until then join us next year for an awesome feel good ride.
