Featured Riders Critz Cullen: Team BP Captain Emeritus
Critz Cullen: Team BP Captain Emeritus
I first participated in the BP MS150 in 2000, the year before BP became the title sponsor. When BP became the title sponsor in 2001 I was actively involved with Team BP. After the first year as title sponsor, BP recognized the opportunity to improve ride safety.
I helped start the safety initiatives within Team BP and the National MS Society.
The first 3 or 4 years I worked behind the scenes supporting Team BP, the safety effort and training series. I was asked to be the Team BP Captain in 2004. The ride has grown, the safety continues to improve and fundraising exceeds all expectations.
In 2008, Team BP surpassed the $1 million milestone, and in 2009 increased fundraising again. With my retirement from BP, I move to Team BP Captain Emeritus. I will remain active in the Houston cycling community and support Team BP and the BP MS150.

“Words can not describe the pride we felt riding with Team BP - from our team leading the start, to our volunteers supporting us at lunch and rest stops along the way.”
–Brian Frank, Richard Morrison, BP Executive Sponsors -
