MS150

Robby rode in the MS150 again this year. It was his 5th year and his last to ride with BP. He has had several issues with his knee during this training season. He was mainly training on the weekends, so he would have a whole week to rest it up between rides. Since the MS150 is a 2 day ride he didn't have that luxury break between. Saturday, Robby gave me a call at lunch and said he was feeling pretty good. A few breakpoints later, at Fayetteville, and the news was not so upbeat. He still had about 15 miles until he reached the finish line for day 1 in La Grange. I asked if he wanted to call it a day there and let me pick him up. He insisted they would stick to the plan and meet me in La Grange. They made it!

Go Team Robby/Ross!

The boys looked pretty good for finishing an 80 mile ride in 5 1/2 hours. Robby waited until that night to make a decision about finishing up day 2. He was hoping he could get home, baby his knee, and be okay for Sunday, but as soon as the knee brace came off and the Ibuprofen wore off, it was clear he would not be participating. He was pretty bummed about Sunday, but we both knew it was best to not force it. I took him to Pappasito's that night to celebrate his day 1 victory.

Ross went on to finish in Austin on Sunday. Congrats boys! Great job for a great cause!
