Team Spanish Beer: Passport Cyclist
Team Spanish Beer: Passport Cyclist, in partnership with The Other Side of MS, exists for one reason: To make sure no one living with MS feels invisible. Every mile we ride and every story we share comes back to that belief.
This team is made up of Team Spanish Beer cyclists who have reached Bike MS Passport status by raising at least $5,000 annually for the National MS Society. Passport status is not a finish line or a measure of importance. It reflects an ongoing commitment to the mission and creates opportunities to support Bike MS in new ways.
Many Passport riders travel to events outside their home chapter. The Passport Team gives those riders a way to stay connected to Team Spanish Beer while representing our team in communities across the country. Together, we support local chapters, build relationships with fellow Passport riders, and help strengthen the Bike MS community wherever we ride.
Our jerseys represent Team Spanish Beer first, but they also represent something larger. They reflect our commitment to the Passport Program, our dedication to every chapter we visit, and our belief that the strongest teams are built by lifting others.
This is not about recognition. It is about responsibility. Riders who reach Passport status have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the National MS Society, and we believe that commitment can inspire others. By riding together, mentoring new cyclists, and sharing our experiences through The Other Side of MS podcast, we hope to encourage more riders to discover what is possible and to continue growing the Bike MS community.
Our purpose is simple. Build community. Support local chapters. Tell honest stories. Raise more funds for the National MS Society. Above all, remind every person affected by MS that they are never riding alone.
Meet the Team Spanish Beer Passport Cyclist
We bring together riders who each raise at least $5,000 every year for the National MS Society. These are cyclists who already give everything they have, yet still feel the pull to do more. The Passport Team gives them a place to belong and a larger story to be part of.
