As you all know, the MS 150 season starts in January and runs through the Spring right up to the MS 150. The MS Society puts out a lsit of Recommended Rides, whcih are pretty well organized and supported rides. Each of these rides has a $20-$30 entry fee. All of the have a day of registration fee that is $5-$10 more than the early rgistration. This has been aptly called the "Sleeping In Option Fee"
This past Saturday, with Amanda at work, Sarah and I decided to head out to Baytown for the ride known as the Gator Bike. Because we decided late Friday to do the ride, the sleeping in option was still in play. Well, I woke up about 15 minutes late. apparently, someone, maybe a ghost, maybe the dog, turned off my alarm. No, it wasn't just turned down, the alarm was off. Fortunately, I got dressed pretty quickly and beat Sarah's desire to go back to bed and dragged her out to he ride, which worked out.
The weather was great. very little wind and lots of sun without too much heat. And since we started late, all we ahd to do was just pass people. No getting caught in big crowds. The only thing we had to battle was refinery fumes, which are delicious.
I highly recommend that....almost as much as westling with alligators.
