Appreciate everyone's help in allowing us to look like a team. We had six people ride the Oklahoma MS150. We lost a few others to scheduling conflicts and such. Still we made up a nice mix of riders from very avid, experienced riders, to the beginner. For me, it was my first event of this type, on my bike. It's a whole new experience from what I saw as volunteer during Tour-de-Cure events. We all rode the entire distance, not including the "eye-opening" hill within the first mile of day 2. I'll just admit now to the rest of the world that I did fall on that hill trying to unclip my shoe. I only suffered a bruised ego, especially when I saw our Matt Bailey come up behind me. I took some ribbing by not disclosing my spill to the rest of the team. So I now share my embarrassing moment with all of you, with a smile. </P> <P>After all was done, it was a satisfying feeling knowing that we completed this ride. Made a few friends along the way. And, rose over $6,000 to help find a cure for MS. Again, thanks for the loaner jerseys. Good luck with the Bike to Beach. </P> <P>- Steve Evans</P>Group Shot<p><a href="http://www.velovalero.com/photos/2007_-_oklahoma_-_ms_150/picture2886.aspx" ><img src="http://www.velovalero.com/photos/2007_-_oklahoma_-_ms_150/images/2886/thumb.aspx" alt="Group Shot" border="0" ></a></p><p>Group Shot</p><P>Thanks again for the jerseys.
