Outside of his work as president and CEO of North American Drilling Corporation, Larry M. Koonce is an avid bicyclist. Larry Koonce has participated in a number of long-distance bicycling charity events, including the MS 150, a two-day bicycle ride held in Texas that is a fundraising event for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Roughly 13,000 cyclists participate, and they are supported by 3,500 volunteer workers. Additionally, the race attracts many spectators along its route.
The 2016 MS 150 will be held on April 16 and 17. The ride begins from three separate locations in the Houston, Texas, area--Tully, Rhodes, and Walter stadiums--and ends in the state capital of Austin. The riders will cover between 160 and 180 miles the first day and camp at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in La Grange, where there will be an evening of celebrations. On the second day of the ride, participants choose from two different routes, both ultimately leading to downtown Austin. All riders have lunch at Bastrop Intermediate School, and the ride finishes in the afternoon.
