Bike MS, Jr., Presented by GEICO

The Bike MS, Jr. ride is a fun and safe bicycling event for kids ages 5-14 at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon, April 30th, 2016. Training-wheel-free bicycle riders of all skill levels are welcome! In 2015, 60 junior riders raised over $16,000 to benefit those living with MS. Help us beat that amount by participating, donating, or volunteering!
