BP MS 150 Recommended and Other Rides

In addition to the CP Training Series, there are a number of rides in the Houston area sponsored by various organizations and charities. The MS Society recommends many of these rides (see MS Society website) that meet the MS society requirements for safety and other criteria. Below is the most recent information we have for the planned rides in 2014/2015. The MS recommended rides are marked with an asterisk(*).

Another site that lists many rides in the Houston area is: http://www.bicycletexas.com/houston.htm
