TransAm Adventure 2010
On July 10th, Tom Bahr and Jessica Roberts (Lawrence Group), riders from the United by Design Bike MS Team, randomly ran into four young men who are riding their bikes across the country this summer on their break from college. They were all eating & escaping the hot weather at a local Qdoba Mexican Grill in Creve Coeur, MO. Tom and Jessica were excited about the trip the men were taking and wanted to share their story with everyone. The men "believe in seizing life and embracing the infinite potential of each waking hour." Something we all should live by! Below are links to the website/blog for their ride as well as their Facebook page. We hope you enjoy their story as much as we did.

UbD Weekend Training Ride Pictures - 7/3/2010
The United by Design Bike MS team held its 2nd weekend training ride on Saturday, July 3rd, 2010. Two riders from Team Arcturis and two riders from Team Christner, United by Design affiliates, joined us. The team rode a few of the Madison County Transit Trails in Illinois for about 28 miles. The trails were very flat and the scenery was great making the ride easy and enjoyable. We will definitely be riding those trails again and adding additional miles. Below are a few pictures from the ride. Make sure to follow the United by Design blog for information on our next training rides. Looking forward to riding with you!
