2024 Bike MS Colonial Crossroads

April 22, 2024 / admin / 0 Comments

This is year #21 riding in Bike MS: Colonial Crossroads. I started riding against MS as a way to contribute to the cause when a family friend was diagnosed with MS. Since then, I’ve lead a team, ridden alone, ridden with my brother Jeff many of those years, and ridden with friends who have joined the cause for a year or two or even just once. And it’s all been great.

We have a team again this year named after the fundraising ride we do in the fall to benefit the Forward Foundation in Richmond. (The FF helps single parents in financial crisis). It’s a different event, but we crossed the streams. Our team is called Go Forward Cycling.

Click the banner below to sponsor me and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you’d like to help. I can put you in touch with the organizers. Thanks for your support!
