It started as a dare eight years ago when Peter Ray and a friend challenged each other to sign up for the Valero MS 150 Bike Tour, a two-day, 150-mile charity bicycle ride from San Antonio to Corpus Christi. The experience ended up transforming Ray, 44, from a recreational cyclist into a true enthusiast and MS 150 advocate.

“Riding into the wind going across the (Nueces Bay) causeway was the thing that got me hooked,” says Ray, who works in information services at Valero. “It was such a sense of accomplishment.”
