Subject: NPS Bike Team and MS 150 Opportunity



Gentlemen,

Please see the two e-mails I've cut and pasted below. These e-mails were sent
late last month to several NPS individuals who expressed interest in joining an
NPS Bike Team to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis by participating in the
MS 150 "Waves to Wine" ride in September. I am forwarding these e-mails to you
because you have either expressed interest in joining the team or someone else
informed me you might be interested.

NPS has, in fact, formed a team to participate in this event. If you are
interested in joining it, please follow the directions in the e-mail immediately
below. Right now we have 6 members on the team.

We will have our first team ride this Thursday, 17 July, a ~15 mile warm-up.
You are welcome to join us. We will meet at the bike path across from the Del
Monte Ave Gate (where the homeless congregate) at 1530. We will conclude our
ride with refreshments somewhere along Cannery Row or in downtown Monterey. A
1530 start time will enable all of us to be home in time for dinner with our
families.

Please contact me with any questions. And please let me know of anyone else who
might be interested.
Thank you.

Regards,
CAPT Mark Huber
Associate Dean and
NPS Bike Team Captain

It is now possible to register as a member of the team via the "MS 150 Waves to
Wine" web site. Please use the following link:

http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/CANBikeEvents/1760349509?pg=team&\
fr_id=9066&team_id=129590
<http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/CANBikeEvents/1760349509?pg=team\
&fr_id=9066&team_id=129590>

If this link isn't working, please do the following:

* Go to the MS 150 Waves to Wine Home Page
* Click on "Enter Site"
* Click on "Join a team"
* Type in "Naval Postgraduate School" in the "Team Name" block, then click on
"Search for a Team"
* Click on the NPS link that appears below the search block
* Click on "Join Naval Postgraduate School" link and follow the directions.


Please note:

* The current registration fee is $25. As of 29 June the registration fee goes
up to $40-SO REGISTER SOON!
* Each rider for this event must raise at least $350 in pledges to participate.
Both times I participated in the past I was easily able to get over $1000 in
pledges, so I am confident everyone can achieve the minimum of $350. In my
experience most people will gladly contribute at least $20 for you to cover the
distance. According to the web site, pledges must be turned in no later than 15
October. In my experience I have always turned the money in the first day of
the event (before the ride begins) if not earlier.


I have researched the possibility of getting jerseys for the team. I have found
a good vendor (VOmax) which also happens to be the preferred apparel supplier
for this event. In order to get semi-custom jerseys (meaning an NPS logo is
superimposed on one of 29 existing templates) we must place an order for at
least 10 jerseys. So please spread the word and help us get at least a team of
10 members put together! [Fully customized jerseys require an order of at least
25.]

We have 81 days to train and raise money! I'll follow up soon with all
committed team members to discuss and arrange our first team training ride.

THANKS!

Regards,
CAPT Huber

Ladies and Gentlemen,

You have received this e-mail because, at one time or another, you expressed
interest in prospectively participating as an NPS Bike Team member to raise
money to fight Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

The Northern California Chapter of the National MS Society organizes and
executes an annual fundraising event, the MS 150 "Waves to Wine" bike ride. MS
150 events take place across the country. Most cyclists who participate in
these events ride a total of 150 miles over a two-day period, i.e. 75 miles each
day (though other mileage options, both shorter and longer, are available).

Please use the following web address to learn more about the event:

http://bikecan.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=BIKE_CAN_homepage
<http://bikecan.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=BIKE_CAN_homepage\
>

I am volunteering to serve as captain of an NPS Bike Team for this event. We
must have a minimum of 4 participants to form a team. If I receive three other
commitments I will register an NPS team via the MS 150 event web site and invite
you to join it. PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to join the team, please inform me but
DO NOT try to register as an individual or look for an NPS Bike Team on the MS
150 web site (there isn't one yet) until I inform you to do so. If you register
as an individual and then try to join the team you may encounter some
difficulties (which I have already experienced, and am in the process of
resolving).

I've participated in 2 MS 150 events in Florida. They are great fun. The MS
150 is NOT a race (although you can cover the distance as fast as you like if
you are so inclined).

This year's event is scheduled for 13-14 September. Day 1 starts in San
Francisco, goes over the Golden Gate bridge, and stops overnight at Sonoma
Mountain Village. Day 2 takes riders through South Marin County, the Russian
River Valley, and finishes at Lake Sonoma (see the web site for more details).

As of today we have 82 days to train for the event (plenty of time), but if we
want to form a team and get custom jerseys, we should do so soon. Because this
is an opportunity to promote NPS, I will contact the NPS Foundation to see if it
is possible for the Foundation to fund or help subsidize team jerseys.

I've seen all skill levels participate in this event, so you only need to be a
cycling enthusiast (not an expert) to enjoy this event.

If you are interested, please let me know soon. You are welcome to forward this
e-mail to anyone else you know at NPS who might be interested in joining the
team. If you do forward this e-mail, please send it to individuals only--please
DO NOT forward it to any group e-mail addresses.

This is a good cause and will also help promote NPS. I hope you decide to join
the team!

Thanks.
