Once again I am doing Bike MS this year for team Enterprise.
I am the unofficial co-captain this year and I am looking for recruits and donations.
Anything helps, here are the ways you can help:
- 1. Donate, you can donate a dollar or you can donate a hundred, anything counts. You can donate to me HERE: Andrew Pokha
OR - 2. Participate (WILL POST A DISCOUNT CODE TONIGHT) :
- A. Event Participant (Individually): CLICK HERE
[INDENT]You get to ride in the event without being a member of a team[/INDENT] - B. Event Participant - Team Member: CLICK HERE Search for team Enterprise
[INDENT]You get to ride in the as a member of a team[/INDENT] - C. Event Participant - Virtual Rider: CLICK HERE
[INDENT]You get to raise the money for the event without having to ride the bicycle[/INDENT] - D. Volunteer CLICK HERE
[INDENT]You help out with the event, you don't have to raise any money and you don't pay for registering, and you get a bright Orange or Yellow shirt
[/INDENT] - ^ A through C pay registration charges and are required to raise a minimum of $250. The minimun is there for a reason, there's a lot of free stuff that you get when you participate, like free camping, free food througout the weekend, FREE BEER garden, and other amenities. If you think about it, you get 10 people to donate $25 each and you don't have to put in a dime

A 40-mile route, a 75-mile route, and THE CENTURY 100-mile route. Don't let the numbers scare you, you have a whole day to finish the ride, it opens 7am and you have to be back by 5 or 6, so plenty of time.
And if you can't or have mechanical issues, one of the SAG vehicles will transport you back to camp.
For volunteers and riders there's free camping for the whole weekend, starting Friday night (Sept. 10), live music and beer garden on Friday and Saturday night.
Accomodations:For the past 26 years, Gateway Area cyclists have been strapping on their helmets and hopping on their bikes to move towards a world free of multiple sclerosis. As a result of their dedication, great strides have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of MS. This is why we ride and this is why I ride.
Accomplish something for yourself and for others living with MS by participating in Bike MS: Express Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride 2010.
