Rumor has it....

There will be a "Virtual Bike MS/Battle of the Gyms" in February of 2009. Date and time is TBA, but we can confirm Amarillo Town Club and Gold's Gyms have signed on to participate, and we expect the DAC and Zack's to come on board, as well. The Ground Cafe (www.thegroundcafe.com) will sponsor the event, providing t-shirts for participants.

How it works: participants raise $100 pledge minimum. Participants will ride for 3 hours at one gym, with spinning instructors and music rotating every 30 minutes. The gym whose participants raise the most money gets a traveling trophy to display.

Why we're doing it: To open the door to new participants who can't or don't want to ride the traditional Bike MS or who just want to get a taste of Bike MS, and for veteran cyclists who aren't logging a lot of cycling time during the winter months.

Stay tuned to this blog for more info. Emails and mailings will go out, and info will be posted at participating gyms as soon as the details are lined up.
