Well, I finished! And yes, I am proud. I'm also very grateful that everyone was so supportive, as their generosity gave me (and 13,000 other riders) the opportunity to experience something very special. The time on the bike was as challenging as it was fun... and at times even meditative.

Despite the fact that I always did things that were active in nature pre-op, the MS150 was one of those things I secretly feared; I could never fully commit to to it. In fact, I'd swim before I'd commit to riding 150 miles!! So completing the tour really makes me proud and it is like beating an old fear.

See the rest of my MS150 pictures in my photo album!

Congrats Donna.  Sounds like you had a great time.  I know what you mean by 'meditative' too.   I often slip into the zone when I run.

Donna, Congrats - great job.  I love the biking outfit!  I have a weakness for all types of workout clothes.

Thanks Mary!  You can't tell, but it says "Ride Like a Girl" all over it.  If in tackling those hills I'm riding like a girl, I'll be a girl anytime!   Thanks!

Woo Hoo!!!!  Great job!!  You're inspiring me to put that kind of challenge on my "To Do" list.  And...thanks for supporting MS.  My 20-yr old nephew was diagnosed last fall.  I did a 5 mile MS walk this past Saturday, but that's nothing compared to 150 miles!  Congrats!
