Hmmm

A Toyota being pushed through the lobby of the Houston Omni Hotel.    Today is the Friday before the MS-150 bike ride weekend, which is a 2 day bike ride from Houston to Austin, raising money for fighting Multiple Sclerosis.   For the last 8 years or so I’ve been driving my cycling friends to the event in Houston, helping them with their gear and driving their truck back to Austin the next day.   I call it being a “sherpa.”   It’s alot of fun with my girlfriends, and a great deal – as they treat me to a wonderful dinner.

This year Lori and Laura are riding, and Irene has joined again for co-sherpa duties.   We were walking back to the hotel room late at night and saw them pushing this Toyota official MS-150 support vans through the lobby.   I guess they didn’t want to start the engine.  It was amusing though because the guy in the drivers seat kept putting on the brakes.

Anyway.   I could have taken lots of pictures of bikes, but this moment caught my fancy.
