Anyone else riding or considering riding in the Houston to Austin MS150 this year?

If so there are only about a thousand spots left to go and registration will be full be the weekend (if not sooner).

What is the MS150?

The <NOBR>BP MS 150 Bike Tour</NOBR> is a two-day cycling adventure from Houston to Austin that raises funds to help people living with MS.

 

12,364 registered.... only 636 spots left!

 

I hope this bike race isn't on public roads.

 

I just signed up like 15 minutes ago it and it was ~ 600 spots left. See ya there!

You realise that's like 150 miles on a bicycle right? There's like no motor there.

 

Registration Closes as 2006 BP MS 150 Reaches 13,000 Mark in Record Time

Registration for the 2006 BP MS 150 Bike Tour is now closed. Registration reached the target goal of 13,000 participants on Friday, January 6.

 

Yea but there are 12,999 people to draft behind! Besides you need to be in shape for the day when your 23 year old car leaves you stranded!

 

Also, why cut off the registration? Did they get all the money they need? Wouldnt think so.

 

They have to limit the competition, though I doubt racing bikes on the street can be legal.

 

Registration is limited because of the avalible resources (camping, support volunteers etc). This is one of the largest charity tours in the nation.

It's not a race, its a tour smartguy.
