Each member was involved in the alcohol industry in one way or another. A couple were business owners, others were homebrewers, and others were friends who had a passion for craft beverages and cycling.<\/p>\n<p>Besides their industry affiliations, they were united by the fact that they had friends and\/or family members who suffered from multiple sclerosis. Coincidentally, each had been involved with the Bike MS events for several years. So, it was exciting to bring their professional and personal passions together for a good cause.<\/p>\n<p>Since then Team Booze Clues has raised nearly $15,000 for the National MS Society. The team has ridden the Bike MS: City to Shore in 2016 and the Bike MS: Bike to the Bay (Delaware) in 2017. They will be riding the Delaware event again this year. The rides are 150 miles over two days regardless of the weather.<\/p>\n<p>The team is sponsored by several of the regional Lehigh Valley craft beverage producers, along with its lead sponsors <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colonymeadery.com\/\">The Colony Meadery <\/a><\/u>and <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecologiccleansers.com\/\">LOGIC, Inc<\/a><\/u>.
