A Valentine's Day 39th Anniversary Ride, Training for the MS 150
Key Takeaway
For their 39th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day, C.W. and Ann Ross celebrated with a 33-mile bike ride into brutal 25 mph winds, their second training ride for the MS 150 to support the fight against multiple sclerosis.
What's more romantic than a 33-mile bike ride against awesome winds on your 39th anniversary? For C.W. and Ann Ross, that was the plan for Valentine's Day. It was their second training ride for the MS 150, and the wind was not cooperating. Brutal 25 mph gusts pushed back the whole way, but they pushed through together.
Why We Ride: The MS 150 and Bike MS
The MS 150 is a two-day cycling event that raises money for research, programs, and support for people living with multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Training for a ride like this takes weeks of getting on the bike in all kinds of weather, which is exactly why a windy anniversary morning still counts as a good day out. Riding for a cause bigger than yourself has a way of making the hard miles feel worth it.
Anniversaries, Milestones, and Showing Up
Thirty-nine years together, marked not with a fancy dinner but with a shared goal and a headwind. That's a pretty good picture of how the Ross family approaches most things: showing up, doing the work, and doing it side by side. It's the same spirit we bring to helping Houston and Fort Bend families with their homes and their bigger plans.
