MS Bike Tour

October 16, 2005

They announced before the start that they had a fund-raising goal of, I think, $2.5 million, and had a bit over $1 million of that. Pretty good given what seemed to me to be a light crowd, compared with Bike New York. Excellent marshals, well organized, friendly people.
