2013 MS150 Ride

"We made through another MS150.  We had great weather, great food and great times.  Once again, Team Shell had no incidents that I am aware of.  If you know of any, please pass along to me so that we can better understand and improve upon our training.  I can’t say enough good things about the volunteers.  They really did an outstanding job in Houston, LaGrange and in Austin.  Thank you so much!  This team counts on the services of volunteers throughout the year, everything from, jersey design, safety, newsletters, training series, and logistics.  This event couldn’t happen without the cheerful support from our volunteers.  We had over 50 individuals volunteer throughout the year, thank you so much!"

- Mark Poindexter, Captain Team Shell

2012 MS150 Ride

We did it! 

Congratulations for a great accomplishment this weekend and a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful volunteers and sponsors and massage therapists for making it such a memorable event.  Without a doubt, this MS150 goes down as epic.  The wind didn’t kill us on Saturday, so it must have made us stronger. On Sunday, everyone coming into Austin seemed to be much more fresh than the day before. No wind on Sunday vs. the 20 – 30mph wind on Saturday which may have a little to do with it.

CONGRATULATIONS and thank you Team Shell volunteers, sponsors, riders, and organizers for an outstanding year!  We proudly accepted five team awards at the 2009 MS150 Awards Party. 

1. Million Dollar Club Award - We are in the company of a few elite  teams who earned this prestigious recognition for raising more than one million dollars for the Lone Star Chapter of the MS Society over the last 8 years.

2. Top-Fundraiser Award - We finished in 6th place this year with $332,815.45, thanks in large to you. Please also pass on our appreciation to your sponsors who made this possible.

3. Gold Safety Award - We received this award for our bike safety leadership and for upholding a strict standard for riding safety throughout the training season and the MS150 Tour.  Special thanks to our safety trainers, ride marshals, and MS150 Safety Committee members for their leadership.  But more importantly, thanks to all of you for embracing and promoting safe riding.

4. Mission Possible Award - This award was presented to teams who have demonstrated strong commitment to the cause through fundraising and volunteerism.

5. Best Corporate Jersey Award - This was definitely the big surprise of the night!  Thank you Karee Kimbro and Lou Ann Beckmann for your creativity and support.


In addition, we were a top-3 finalist for the Green Team Award recognizing teams that demonstrate the greatest commitment to the environment: recycling, carpooling, etc.

I would also recognize our veteran riders who as of this year have completed 15 or more MS150's:
