Title: MetroJacksonville.com MS 150 Team?
Post by: Driven1 on June 30, 2008, 05:15:55 PM
sorry, not this year.  but a couple of us were talking and wanted to see how many cyclists we might have for a mj.com ms 150 team for next year's ride??  several of us have already signed up for other teams (such as citi and csx), but we think it would be a fun way to advertise the organization next year and meet up with others who enjoy the site.

would be for a great cause as well.

what do you think?

I'd do it, but sadly I may not even make this year's ride as I'll be in TX.

Will a Mongoose mountain bike fit the qualifications?

I don't even think I have the stamina for a 150.  How about dropping the zero?

:)

yep, any bike actually.  i know another forumer on here who has a mongoose and just got a road bike to go along with it.

nope - can't drop the 0...BUT, you can do 150km (roughly 95 miles).

It'll take me a week!

I'll put some thought into it and let you know if I'm interested or even have the time.

Any idea on a route?  I've seen plenty of  "bikers" up and down CR 214.  I believe they come in off of SR 13 and then into St. Augustine.  Its cool to sit on my porch and watch the hundred or so fly by.

The true gearheads do the 150 in a day, mere mortals take 2days to do it.
