Day 1 of the BP MS 150 got cancelled due to rain, lots and lots of rain. And I was very sad about this, but day 2 went on without skipping a beat! I had a great time riding alongside 11,000 other cyclists, even though there was a lot of headwind, pain, and a few tears shed (yes, I cry), but it was all worth it when I crossed that finish line (and what a finish line)!! Plus, it was so cool knowing that I was taking part, even if it was a small part, in research for a cure of MS.
I'm now looking forward to purchasing my own bike, since I borrowed the one I rode, and riding more! I need to get my knee looked at, though, I just don't think it's hurting because of the bike's fit, I think it's all the years of basketball. If you've ever thought about doing something like this, don't hesitate any longer!
