an unforgettable ride.
an unbeatable destination.
a world free of MS!
Maybe you’re in it to ride 150 miles in 2 days – to get in shape and cross the finish line with pride. Or maybe you’ll ride with your friends and co-workers, sharing a weekend of celebration and festivities with people as passionate and fun as you are. Maybe you’ll ride for the challenge of raising critical funds to find a cure for MS. Whatever your reason for being a part of Bike MS, you’ll find that this will be the chance for you to meet your challenge head on – and to conquer it. You’ll meet your own goals, and make a difference in the lives of people living with MS. Bike MS truly is the ride of your life.
Bike MS is a fully supported ride that begins in Brunswick, Ohio and travels throughout the northern pastoral countryside to Sandusky. A spaghetti dinner and various evening activities await riders upon arrival in Sandusky. On the second day, the ride then returns to Brunswick. All cyclists must fundraise a minimum of $250 prior to the event to be eligible to participate.

Ride a Raleigh Week: May 21 - 25
In 2011, we formed a partnership with Raleigh America. In 2012, that local partnership grew into a national partnership and now Raleigh is the official bike of all Bike MS rides across the country. To celebrate this great union, we are giving away not one, but two brand new Raleigh bicycles to two of our registered riders! Each bicycle is valued at $1,300.
- HOW TO WIN BIKE 1 - All riders who raise the $250 fundraising minimum by May 25 at midnight will be entered into a drawing to win one of the bicycles!
- HOW TO WIN BIKE 2 - The rider who raises the most money during the span of May 21 - May 25 will win one of the bicycles!
- BONUS - The daily top fundraiser will receive a copy of Phil Keoghan’s “The Ride” DVD!
All prizes have no cash value nor trade-in credit. Winners may opt to donate their prize back to the National MS Society or to a currently registered Bike MS team member. To qualify, you must be registered for Bike MS 2012. For more information about Raleigh Bicycles and the Revenio 3.0 log on to RaleighUSA.com.
