How can Florida’s largest cycling event successfully take place with the help of a small crew of staffmembers? The answer lies in the hearts and hands of our dedicated volunteers. Each year, our volunteerbase grows beyond belief. Our volunteers do it all, from stuffing rider goodie bags, coordinating venues,to cheering each and every rider across the finish line and ensuring rider safety on the route. We haveidentified five key volunteers who went above and beyond their call of duty, those referred to as our“Power Behind the Pedals.”

MMeerrrriitttt BBuurrrruuss, our electrical mastermind, is personally to thank for wiring John Pennekamp Park forlighting, sound and entertainment. JJoohhnn VVeecccchhiioo, the radio architect, put together the necessaryequipment to relay radio signals along the route. MMaarrkk LLoowwee, longtime volunteer with our MS Bike Ride,loaded supplies at our warehouse, assisted with trucking, then set up and broke down John PennekampPark… what can’t he do? Our trucking logistics extraordinaire, DDaannttee WWaattssoonn, organized rest stoptrucking, transported bicycles and assisted wherever a helping hand was needed… he does it ALL!!! LLaarrrryyHHoouussee not only is the Support and Gear Vehicle coordinator, but also spearheaded both the acquiring andbuilding of our “new and improved” bike racks. Merritt, John, Dante and Larry are all members of ouramazing MS Bike Committee. As for Mark, well… he’s just an amazing volunteer! On behalf of the 6,000South Floridians living with MS, our riders, sponsors and South Florida Chapter staff, we thank you foryour overwhelming support and for being our ““PPoowweerr BBeehhiinndd tthhee PPeeddaallss..””
