2009 Jersey Designs Announced

Here's a sneak peek at our 2009 jersey designs. We're still working on choosing a photo to appropriately represent our area. Feel free to e-mail your suggestion. The photo will replace the mountains in the mock design you see posted.

The yellow is for our Top Fundraisers ($1000 or more) and the orange is our standard tour jersey for fundraisers who reach $500.

Top Fundraiser jerseys will be handed out PRIOR to Bike MS, so get your money in early and you'll have your jersey to wear in our 2009 ride!

For more info, contact April at 806-468-8005, ext 26.

Announcing... a Shorter Route Option at Bike MS!

We're excited to announce something new in 2009--a shorter route option. The new, 50-mile route option will open the ride up for cyclists who are unprepared to ride the full 150, and to families who want to join in the fun. The new route follows will also allow the 50-mile cyclists to start, lunch, and finish with all the other cyclists so that they get the full experience of Bike MS. The full $200 minimum pledge still applies to all cyclists, regardless of mileage. There is a $30 registration fee for individual cyclists or a flat team fee of $100. Cyclists riding the shorter route may also register with any existing team!

Here's how it works:

All cyclists start at starting line
50 mile cyclists ride from start to rest stop 3
50 mile cyclists are SAG'd from rest stop 3 to rest stop 6
50 mile cyclists ride from rest stop 6 to rest stop 7
50 mile cyclists are SAG'd to lunch (rest stop 8)
50 mile cyclists are SAG'd to hill going into Canadian, where they ride downhill and cross the official finish line

New Accommodations in Canadian!

You'll be as excited as we were to learn there are some BRAND NEW accommodations in Canadian!



The Quiet Inn at 200 Cedar (806-323-6111) opened a few months ago and a Best Western is going up right now.

It looks like the Quiet Inn *may* be our new Canadian Headquarters, as well as our new finish location.

We are working on securing negotiated rates and blocking off rooms at both of these Canadian hotels as well as some hotels in Amarillo. Stay tuned for further updates!
