As most of you know Thijs had been training for The BP MS150 bike ride from Houston to Austin for a while now. It is a ride of 180 miles over two days benefitting the Multiple sclerosis society. Every rider had to raise at least 400 dollars, Thijs managed to get over a 1000!
He was looking forward to the weekend very much so imagine his disappointment when his boss walked into his office on Thursday night and told him he was expected to attend a meeting on Sunday!
Even though he would not be able to do the whole ride Thijs still got on his bike on Saturday morning and rode from Katy to La Grange where I picked him up. It was a beautiful day and he had a great time. He was amazed at the support along the route and the reception all the riders got in La Grange. Too bad he couldn't make it all the way to Austin but well done Thijs! There's always next year!
