Bike MS Pedal to the Point Ride (2012)
On August 4th and 5th
(Please note that this event will take place on a different weekend in August this year, in the past it has been the 2nd weekend) (2012)
the Ohio Buckeye Chapter of the National MS Society will be holding its Bike MS Pedal to the Point Ride. This event is a unique cycling adventure that challenges riders of all ages, levels and abilities while also raising money to end the devastating effects of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The Bike MS Pedal to the Point Ride begins at Brunswick High School (Please note that starting point has changed). Over 2,000 cyclists travel to Sandusky where they’ll relax with friends while enjoying overnight entertainment or enjoy themselves at Cedar Point. The next day, riders make the return trip to Brunswick High School where they are welcomed by massotherapists and a celebratory picnic.
