Title: DFW MS150 this weekend!

I couldn't find the earlier post from another user about the MS150 to bump so I'll make one last shameless plug before the trek this weekend.

86 miles Saturday, 65 miles on Sunday. Wish me luck!! I'm riding with the Plano Cycling team this year.

Good luck, Shelly! Watch out for the heat--we're not acclimated.

No kidding. Lots of water, easy pace, breaks when necessary. Last year it was 42 degrees when I started each day. This year it'll be 65. O_o

I have yet to find time to do a full write up! I actually drafted one and then accidentally reloaded the page and lost it. :(

I thought I heard someone yell for me from that rest stop! I actually waited at the side of the road about 20 yards up from that rest stop to see if whoever called my name would come by but I was convinced they must have been yelling at someone else because I didn't know any other recumbents who were riding. Oops! Sorry about that!!

I did make it through both days. I'll post a full write up with pics tonight hopefully. :)
