Bike MS Ride

Sunday morning, my friend Kristen and I went for a run from my house to Larrabee State Park. We didn't know we would be sharing part of our route with a couple thousand cyclists, all biking to raise money for the National MS Society. We all picked the same spot to stop and rest and enjoy some lunch-- but while they hit the road to keep sweating the miles, Kristen and I got in our nice comfy cars for the ride back.

A Long Line of Bicycles

The Ski to Sea race ends in Fairhaven, where a huge celebration (literally named "It All Ends in Fairhaven") awaits teams and revelers. Thousands of people join the fun, so it's smart to forgo the car and walk, bike, or take the shuttle. Some of these bikes belong to race participants-- there's a road bike leg and a mountain bike leg in the race-- and some, like ours, were just bicycling on a beautiful day.
