You're not going to believe this one!  Did you hear the one about the 8-year old who rode a bike from Houston to Austin?  No?  There's no punch line.  This is the truth.  In the 2000 MS150, Evan Haas, 8 years of age,  did the distance on a tandem, and is back for another go, but this year with Team Enron, on his own bike.  Evan turned 9 on April 14, and is celebrating by doing the MS150 all over again!
