BRUNSWICK — The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society Ohio Buckeye Chapter’s Pedal to the Point Ride will take place Aug. 4-5. The two-day ride is held every year to support people living with MS by providing programs, services and MS research to find a cure for the chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. Phil Keoghan, host of “The Amazing Race,” will join 2,500 cyclists and ride a tandem bicycle with Regina Lyalls, who has MS. Keoghan and Lyalls will begin their journey with all the cyclists at Brunswick High School, 3581 Center Road, Aug. 4. They will travel 75 miles to Sandusky for the one-day ride. The majority of riders will make the return trip back to Brunswick Aug. 5. There are several route options (30, 75, 100 and 150 miles), so riders of any age, experience and ability level can register to ride. The route is supported with rest stops every 8 to 12 miles, with food and medical and mechanical support. First-time riders are encouraged to sign up to receive free registration with the coupon code NEWRIDER2012. All riders are required to raise a minimum of $250 in contributions by the day of the ride and are given the option for a free ticket to Cedar Point or Soak City upon their arrival in Sandusky. Participants will receive additional prizes and special achievement awards by raising additional dollars.
