Team Spanish Beer
Team Spanish Beer, 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.
Team Spanish Beer is a North Florida Bike MS team and a member of The Other Side of MS Passport Collection. Our Passport cyclists, known within the Collection as Imports, carry Team Spanish Beer beyond our home rides and into Bike MS events across the country.
MS is often invisible. What someone sees from the outside does not always tell them what is happening on the other side. Our jersey carries the same idea. Team Spanish Beer is on the front, our visible identity and our home team. The Other Side of MS is on the back, representing the stories, symptoms, and realities people may never see unless someone chooses to share them.
This is not about recognition. It is about responsibility, and we believe that sense of responsibility 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 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 Cyclists
Team Spanish Beer is our home team. Our Passport riders take that team beyond North Florida, riding Bike MS events around the country while representing the same mission.
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 community gives them a place to belong and a larger story to be part of.
