Today is @worldmsday and we want to use it as an opportunity to thank you all for the incredible support over the years! 🙏 without your efforts, both on the bike and with fundraising, we wouldn’t be able to pursue our mission of supporting those living with MS across America 🧡

As we gear up for another summer on the road 🚴‍♂️, we reflect on the journey we’ve already travelled since our inception in 2007. We are continually looking for ways to improve as an organization and, with your help, hope to expand our impact further. This year that’s included supporting the MS Center of Excellence in Miami following our successful Florida Coast ride and looking for projects in new cities to us, like Chicago, to celebrate our North Lakes adventure in August. 👐

Do you know anyone living with MS in any of the locations below? If so we’d love to hear from you on how we can directly support them with a service project!

1. Blacksburg, VA - project already arranged but always keen to help others!
2. Carbondale, IL
3. Pittsburg, KS - working with a local support group currently, but always keen to meet others!
4. Pueblo, CO
5. Cedar City, UT
6. Astoria, OR
7. Arcata, CA
8. San Francisco, CA
9. Goleta, CA
10. Chicago, IL
11. Pittsburgh, PA

It’s #givingtuesday and we are already nearly a quarter of the way to our target of $4,000! 🎉 Our mission is to elevate the Nina Fraser Scholarship fund to a total of $7,500, allowing us to unlock life-changing experiences for those living with MS. By supporting, you’re not just contributing dollars, you’re paving the way for others to feel the wind in their hair, the strength in their legs and the sheer exhilaration of overcoming obstacles.

Shout out to Jim Fraser, @rwilliams02186 @montanacassie @sab3x @cee_flor & Luke Fadem for your support so far 🫶 so much love for you all 🧡 who’s going to join them in helping us reach our target?

Either donate on this post or follow the link in our bio The Bike the US for MS cycling team as they return to Seattle on the ferry to complete their Olympic Peninsula bike tour around the Olympic Peninsula Loop in summer of 2023. It was a sunny day and very excited team with smiles all round!

What a phenomenal week it’s been on our inaugural Olympic Peninsula ride! 6 spectacular days of riding taking in the ocean and mountains along the way. We couldn’t have wished for a better team to take it on. A huge thank you for collectively raising over $70,000.

We are so grateful to @providenceswedish for putting on yet another amazing celebration for the team when we arrived in Seattle. We have been lucky enough to support them for 12 years now and can’t wait to see the incredible projects that your fundraising will go towards!

Thank you too to @flyingbikecoopbrewery for having us for a little evening party!

Day 6 📍Shelton to Seattle - The FINAL day of our Olympic Peninsula adventure! A shorter mileage day to reach the Bremerton ferry before enjoying the scenic journey into downtown. A wonderful celebration to look forward to with the @providenceswedish to cap off a fantastic week 🎉

Ride strong team 💪

Day 5 📍Amanda Park to Shelton. A BIG penultimate day covering 87 miles as we come around the south west corner of the Olympic Peninsula! With 3,600ft of climbing in 3 main climbs, it’s going to be a long challenging day for the team.

Morale is high with just two riding days to go until we hit Seattle! Keep pushing team 🤩

Day 4 📍Forks to Amanda Park. Time to head south as the team hit the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula Bike Tour.

Services are few and far between on this furthest point of the trip, but it’s made all the better with spectacular beach views out over the Pacific 🌊

Over the half way mark now, just 3 days to go 💪

Day 3 📍Port Angeles to Forks 🚴‍♂️ A beautiful 68 mile ride that follows the north coast of Olympic National Park ⛰️ before turning south. A big climb follows the turn as the route cuts the north west corner of the park to the famous town of Forks.

Best known for being the setting of the Twilight series, but for us Forks marks the mid way point of the Olympic Peninsula Bike Tour! Cheer the team on 👋

Day 2📍Port Townsend to Port Angeles. A 60 mile day as the team head along the top of the Olympic Peninsula. It’ll be a beautiful day along the coast with views out over Vancouver Island.

Day 1 📍Seattle to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula Bike Tour 🤩 the 33 strong team will kick off the day with a quick pedal to the ferry ⛴️ before reach Bremerton where the real riding starts 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

A 52 mile day, with rest stops in Kitsap State Park and Port Hadlock, it’s a great way to kick off this 6 day adventure around the Olympic Peninsula!

Looking forward to our first night camping 🏕️ at Fort Townsend State Park. Wish the team well on this inaugural ride around Washington!

Describe Utah in one word:

breathtaking

It will take your breath away with epic scenery, climbing galore, and hot, hot heat.

The Eastern Divide Mountain Bike and TransAm teams were able to make a contribution to the amazing MS Alliance of Virginia today!

Many thanks to @easterndivide for allowing all us cyclists to invade the brewery for a few hours!
