Bike MS: Waves To Wine In North Bay: PHOTO SHOW

NORTH BAY, CA – During the weekend's "Bike MS: Waves to Wine" cycling event, more then 1,600 bike enthusiasts peddled through the North Bay helping to raise roughly $1.6 million for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, according to organizers.

Top fundraiser teams this year were Salesforce Ohana, the largest group, followed by Team Menstrual Cycles, Team Google & Friends, Dignity Health Neurological Institute and also Cruisin' with Susan, according to Renee Croteau, event coordinator and Northern California president of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Croteau noted that team Menstrual Cycles, comprised of women and men unconnected to any corporation, has raised more than $1 million in the past 10 years.

Ride options offered routes from San Francisco on coastal Highway 1 to Rohnert Park on Saturday. And on Sunday, riders trekked either a 63-mile or 42-mile tour heading north past Santa Rosa from the SOMO Village, past Forestville and Sebastopol, then through the home stretch back to the Sonoma Mountain Village.

The festive event, with such participant-lures as music, massages for sore riders, camping in tents, trailers and RVs and two semi-trailers with mobile showers, promises to return again next year.
