2019 Day of the Ride Instructions

Well it's almost here...just a few more days until the 2019 Bike MS event. Wahoo! Thanks again for fighting MS as a Sugar Bee. Here's some last minute information about the ride:

SATURDAY, JUNE 29

THE START

• We leave from the Team Sugar Bee starting chute Saturday morning around 6:00 AM. There's 60+ Bees riding this year, so just look for a hive of bright yellow jerseys. 
• If you have to pick up your packet, be at Front Range CC by 5:00 am to allow time for breakfast, luggage, etc.

TEAM VILLAGE TENT #38

• We're in BIG Team Sugar Bee Tent #38 (alongside Meridian Avenue) decorated in yellow and black. 
• Friends and family of riders can register as a Festival Participant at either of the Information Tents. As a Festival Participant, you will receive a wristband for the beer service, access to dinner, and an event t-shirt.
• The Awards Ceremonies on Saturday are at 3:00 pm in Fort Collins. 
• We will swarm over to the team photo area at some point that afternoon. Please wear a jersey, polo or Bee T- shirt.

 SUNDAY, JUNE 30

• Sugar Bees leave at various times Sunday morning and meet up at rest stops along the ride. We finish the ride with fellow Bees who ride at a similar pace and stay at the Finish Line awhile to cheer and enjoy the end of the ride festivities.

Any last minute questions, post them on TSB's Facebook page or Contact Us page and we'll get right back to you. 

DIRECTIONS TO CSU FORT COLLINS

Here's a set of directions the MS Society sent to all the riders.

But you have to Bee Fast. You must place your order by Wednesday, May 1 @ 11:59 pm., after which the 'store' will close.

All items are available in men's and women's cuts. The sports cut jersey features elastic sleeves and  waist, three rear straight pockets and a hidden full front zipper.

Good news! Registration is open for Bike MS Colorado 2019 on June 29 & 30! In fact, there's already a two dozen Bees in the hive. Here's the fee schedule and available routes. They brought back the 30 miler on Saturday! Yeah! The earlier you register, the more you save. It's not too early to commit to taking the sting out of MS.

Walker Brothers Back in the Saddle Again!

Tim Walker, Jr. & Eric Walker

These handsome Sugar Bees and brothers, Tim Walker, Jr. and Eric Walker, can't get enough of Bike MS. Not only did they ride in the Coloardo Bike MS event in June this year, they are also riding in the Bike MS Big Horn Country Classic being held in Sheridan, Wyoming on August 11 & 12.

The Walker family started Team Sugar Bee back in 1993 to honor their daughter and sister, Kelly Walker, who was diagnosed with MS in 1988. They saw the devastating effects MS had on her and were motivated to ride and raise funds in an effort to find a cure for the disease. That first year they had just 6 riders, but the team now boasts about 100 riders every year.

Tim, Jr. & Eric are long time members of the Top 100 Bike MS fundraisers in Colorado and the Bike MS High Rollers Club for their fundraising efforts pushing Team Sugar Bee's toward the $2 million mark! But no matter how much you raise, every dollar counts to help TAKE THE STING OUT OF MS! Pedal on, brothers!
