Bike MS 2010

Due to funding and me just having a baby a few months prior, Jon rode alone to represent our team, Team Loretta Scott. George, Rhiannon, and I volunteered. It was still a great adventure and experience!!! Jon made friends as he normally does and ended up having a great group to ride with!!! :)
For those of you who don't know, Bike MS is a fundraiser put on every year by our local Multiple Sclerosis chapter. Our local ride is on the Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes and is absolutely beautiful!!!! It is a 150 mile bike ride broken up into 2 days of 75 miles, from Mullan, ID to Plummer, ID and the opposite on the second day. We will all be riding it next year, so if anyone wants to join our team let me know!!! :)

Leaving the Harrison rest stop onto the last leg of the ride


Rhiannon and I volunteered at the Harrison rest stop on day 1. It is a beautiful little town on Lake Coeur d' Alene!!!


George, Rhiannon, and I volunteered in Kellogg on day 2 letting the riders know to watch out for traffic while crossing the "busy" street. It wasn't raining when I took this pic, but it rained...no it poured most of the day!!! Thank goodness we had umbrellas!!! Poor Jon got soaked though as you will see!





Jon almost to the finish line!!! Soaked and tired!!!!


Here we all are after Jon was able to dry off and change! You did GREAT Jon and we are all proud of you!!!! We have a lot of fundraising, training, and a weight loss plan to accomplish before the ride next year!

Thank you, Jon, for representing our team!! We are incredibly proud of you!

Even with all of the rain, it was still a great weekend! I like rain, so it didn't bother me too much. :) And even though we didn't ride, it was still nice to support MS by volunteering.
