This is the final week for free MS150 inspections. Beginning on Saturday the 10th, we will be charging $15 for your inspections.

Some of you may be familiar with the cycling fatality that occurred this past Saturday in NW Harris County. The cyclist killed was Stafford Campbell. Stafford was a long time MS 150 participant and volunteer of the Lone Star Chapter. Some of you may have personally known Stafford. Stafford was more than a participant or a volunteer to us at the chapter, he was family. For years since his retirement Stafford has spent at least two days a week at the chapter office assisting the development staff and other departments with our MS 150 efforts and other chapter business. Stafford was also a familiar face at our packet pick-ups and at the other bike events in the chapter either as a rider or volunteer. Needless to say we are always saddened by the death of any cyclist, but Stafford’s death has struck at the heart of our organization and staff and for so many that new Stafford through his involvement with the chapter.

In the event you knew Stafford or would like to attend his services as a show of support to the family by the cycling community, his memorial services will held Saturday December 5th at 11am in the chapel of First Baptist Church of Houston located at 7401 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77024.
