More from the MS150

All along the route there were rest stops with food and drink. The riders were encouraged to stop at them all and "refuel." So at each rest stop Wayne was able to text me with his progress. All along the way he kept saying he was having a good ride and having fun.

Travis, Aubrey and I drove up to Madison to meet him as he arrived at the finish line for the first half. Finally at 1:55 pm we saw him round the corner! He was tired and hot and said the last stretch was hard but he made it!! Volunteers handed him a cold wet towel right away!



Then the riders were treated with more food, massages (if they wish), a hot tub, and lots of cheering and encouragement. This evening there was a banquet and then hopefully they will have a good night's rest and start out tomorrow morning at 7:00 am for the return trip!
