When and Where to Meet for the Ride

Well it's almost here...just a few more days until the 2015 MS150. Wahoo!

Saturday Morning: Meet at the starting line at about 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 27 and take off as a team.  Plan on arriving early and be ready.

Saturday Afternoon: Both riders and rest stop volunteers are invited to meet up at the Team's tent after the ride. Look for the bright yellow bee banners. There's usually several massage tables going to soothe those tired muscles. Get dinner or stop by the free beer garden (remember they card everyone).

Sunday Morning: Everyone starts when they want and we meet along the way at the stops, lunch and the end.
