    Tour de Cure

    Hi,

    For the third straight year I will be doing the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure ride in Stillwater, NY. In 2006, my first year of riding, I did the 25 mile route. Last year I did the 50 mile route. This year I will tackle the metric century ride (62.5 miles). Both of my parents are diabetic, as are several other family members, and I may be prediabetic. I bike to raise money for diabetes research as well as for keeping me healthy and fit and so, hopefully, I won't progress to full diabetes. I'd appreciate any support you can afford. Please visit my Tour page!

    Thanks, Nicole
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Thanks for the reminder. That ride (the local one) is something I might add to my list this year.

    Ooh, there's one here in Seattle, too. May 17th.

    Now to decide if I want to fundraise and ride the TdC, or if I want to volunteer.

    (my mom is a diabetic, and I'm already thinking of a list of folks to hit up for some dough)

    I'm doing the Tour de Cure this may from san antonio to austin,tx. (112 mi)It's my first organized ride, and i'm feeling a little daunted, but really excited. I've already surpassed my original fundraising goal! both my parents have diabetes, and my grandfather died from diabetes complications, so i couldn't think of a more worthy cause!

    I'm new to this site. I am going to buy my first road bike in the next two weeks. My husband has been riding and commuting for some time. He and my 10 year old daughter are doing this race here is Roseville, Ca next weekend. You can see their site here

    One week to go. I really want to pass $1500; still $50 away. Won't you put me over the top?
