We need 5 ridazz or more to have our very own and very first MS150 TEAM MIDNIGHTRIDAZZ. This will be my third year participating in this great ride and great charity fund raiser for a terrible and debilitating disease that strikes young and old. As a registered rida, your only financial expense is a registration fee of $25-$35 dollars and transportation costs to the start. We can totally carpool, CUBCAMPERS, be in the team too, let's do this, let's bring the box., there's ovenight camping. sorry don't mean to impose but sounds like a great idea. I believe the regular price is about 35 dollars but teams may get team member 25 dollar fees. The fundraising commitment per individual is $250.00 (not $2,500.00 - so it's easy to raise). the ride is well supported by staff, chp and it is catered by a sponsoring restaurant and they always have a vegetarian option for the meals. maybe we can send in comments and get them to have vegan options for our vegan ridazz. Just leave that to me i'll comment it to them. did i meantion that there's all the free fat tire and other belgium brewery products and an assortment of wine from local wineries. That means that unlike the ALC we can go fast on this one and build a peloton in the early morning and be a lead pack or a giant pack of fast ridazz from different teams. that is usually the case and an option. I know i will try to do it as fast as i can to get to the showers and dinner n beer, especially the beer. DannyZuko if you want in i will nomiate your ass the captain. Danny did it last year with me and im sure he had a blast. Thanks again to all that helped zuko and I with the fundraising efforts and for getting the tiny logo on the jersey. PC special thanks go out to you. thanks again. This year we want our own jerseys that will be almost as cool as the ALC TEAM MR jerseys. Im thinking the same or similar pattern design but with the MS150 logos and different colors of course. something bright, like purple grapes. The route is amazing and is probably similar to last years. I will post route details as they come available.
