MS 150 City To Shore Review

A fantastic weekend of long lasting memories. Team SAP raised more than $30,000 for an important cause. A big 'Thank You" to all riders.
We hope you've had a blast. Please share your memories by using the 'comment' feature for this post.

Here a collection of 2009 MS-150 memories:
- Uli ripped his chain including rear derailleur on Saturday, the team waited until a bike mechanic converted his ride into a single speed (53x16) and we could continue the SAP pace line
- riding through the fog on Sunday morning, overheard a few riders saying 'let's make sure we catch the wheel of the SAP team'
- the 90 year old lady in high heels
- talking Juan into riding back instead of taking the bus
- Barbie's head strategically placed on Fran's bike
- Uli powering past everyone WITH A FLAT TIRE (his 4th one I think) so he could get ahead and change it.
- Getting over the first bridge with the lead group then remembering, oh yeah, there's a second bridge (and getting seriously dropped).
- 15 miles to Avalon in a 25mph head wind? Forgettaboutit
- Looking back at 50+ people hanging on to the SAP train on the way back.
- Being very thankful to have a great group of people to ride 8+ hours with. You all made it go by quickly and with a lot of fun.
- 3 team Tania guys thanking profusely for a 25 mile draft on the SAP Train before doing some lead work on the return trip
- No 8000 (Maybe next year? Glad my memory is still good.)
- The "SAP Train" Stalker or would that be Fatal Attraction?
- Ben WHO! (What's up with that!!!)
- Mr. Flat - Uli (4 flats in 2 days)
- Team to avoid next year - TEAM GIANT
- How long was our train at one point on the return trip?
- Total riding time for both ways???
- Frank's last minute decision to ride the return trip. Got to love peer pressure.
- The ride from OC to Avalon on Saturday was killer!!
- Rob's all-out hammer pulls (chin touching the handlebars)
- Yes, the brutal ride to Avalon after Ocean City...and after Rob bailed
- Are we stopping at this one?..."Yes I Need Food!" ... ooops! Oh well...
- John's GIANT Team stalker/hitman
- Who needs a rear derailleur...not Uli
- Peanut butter & banana sandwiches!
- Ben dropped all of us at the start - 30mph the whole way
- Frank IS the man of steel
- How badly was the Barbie soiled on Sat night, Fran? Response: "Barbie got dirty"
- Bike repair with a rock
- The fixie guys socks
- No 8000's :(
- The tandem beach cruiser with white fur seat covers
- Surfer boys barefoot with boards
- The real cyclist on a Cervelo Sun
