On the Route: Day 1 & Day 2
Official Mission Sponsor
Bike MS Champions
Every connection counts. Connect with a Bike MS Champion and ride for someone living with MS.
The Bike MS Champions program, sponsored locally by the Bike MS: Texas MS 150 Official Mission Sponsor: ConocoPhillips, aims to communicate "why we ride" by highlighting the many different faces of MS and the different ways our organization meets the needs of individuals living with MS through the generous support of Bike MS participants and fundraisers!
Cyclists will have the opportunity to connect with featured Bike MS Champions through their personal stories, social media postings, local engagement opportunities, and the symbolic orange bandanas.
This year, we are excited to share our eight 2023 inspiring Bike MS Champions stories with you; meet Amy Garcia, Amy Jann, Brady Dodson, Helen Palmer, Jen Prochazka, Jennifer Wiginton, Jeri Rippon, and Lauren Loucel!

Be on the lookout for their stories along the route!
Bubble Bistro
This unique shaded and fanned viewing-reception area was created by a committee of ladies who wanted to ensure anyone living with MS that attended the Texas MS 150 would be able to have a cool spot to watch the riders pass through Fayetteville on Day 1 and cross the Finish Line in College Station on Day 2.
Both Bubble Bistro locations are reserved for people living with MS plus one guest and serve as respite to enjoy a snack, a cool beverage, and the excitement of cheering on the riders while the sky is filled with our signature welcoming BUBBLES!
The Bubble Bistro offers cyclists the opportunity to meet the people they are riding for and offers those living with MS the chance to say thank you.
Look for the Bubbles in Fayetteville and at the Finish Line in College Station!
IRWMS
The I Ride with MS program celebrates and recognizes the resilience of our cyclists who are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and shines a light on what it means to live with this disease. I Ride with MS participants enjoy special day-of-event benefits and receive a complimentary "I Ride with MS" jersey from our program's proud supporter, Primal.

Mission Mile
The Mission Mile was created to serve as a point of encouragement, excitement, and awareness as you ride through the Bike MS: Texas MS 150! While you cycle through the route, be on the lookout for this inspiring and informational mile with facts about the National MS Society’s mission and goal to end MS forever!
Wall of Honor
The Wall of Honor is a staple at the Bike MS: Texas MS 150! The Wall of Honor links all those that participate back to the mission and reminds us that the Bike MS: Texas MS 150 is more than just a ride. You can visit, contribute, and be inspired by the Wall of Honor on event weekend!
