25th Anniversary of Bike MS

The 25th Anniversary Bike MS, Colorado's Ride 2010 is only a few short months away, and the crew here @ Left Hand is gearing up for this year’s ride like never before. This will be our 3rd year putting together a team, and we’re hoping for 100 riders and $75,000 in fundraising, which would crush last year’s totals. In addition, we’re putting our money where our mouth is, as we have signed on as the Official Beer of this year’s ride! That means we’ll have beer flowing at events pre- and post-ride, as well as having our slick beer trailer pouring at the end of Day 1 on the CSU campus in Fort Collins.

So, how can you help make MS stand for Mystery Solved and make Multiple Sclerosis a thing of the past? Well, you can ride with us! Our first official team meeting is Thursday, February 11th @ 6pm here at the brewery. And if you can’t ride, you can always sign on as a virtual participant. And if you’re not up for either one of those, be sure to join us for our Annual Fundraiser that we hold here at the brewery. The date has yet to be finalized, but it’ll most likely be in late April. More information to come.

So, what is Bike MS all about? Well, check it out. Bike MS is a two-day inspirational ride held by National MS Society chapters across the nation each year to raise funds that support programs to enhance the lives of people living with MS as well as fund vital research to help create a world free of MS. Of the funds raised through this event, 83 cents of each dollar is spent on research and local programs; this has paved the way for the development of breakthrough treatments and programs, enabling a more fulfilling and productive life for over 9,500 Coloradans and their families.

The Colorado Chapter of the National MS Society’s Bike MS is Colorado’s oldest nonprofit ride. The 25th Anniversary Bike MS will be held June 26 – 27, 2010, with a goal of raising over $3 million! More than 3,000 cyclists, 600 volunteers, and countless supporters will enjoy majestic Colorado scenery while riding from Front Range Community College in Westminster to Colorado State University in Fort Collins and back, collectively logging over 400,000 miles.
