Tour de Cure July 28, 2012

[DarcyInOregon]

The training ride on April 21 was up the Historic Columbia River Highway, which entailed continuous miles of climbing, including one Category 4 climb and one Category 5 climb. This highway is a recreational road, winding into the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. At the top, the views were spectacular. The descent was exhilerating. All levels of cyclists participated, and the beginner cyclists rode as far as they could, then turned around.

This Saturday the training group participates in the Salem Bicycle Club's first metric century of the year, though newer cyclists might opt to ride only half of the metric. Most of the members will be wearing a Tour de Cure jersey while riding. The cyclists with diabetes will be wearing either a Red Rider jersey or a team jersey. The non-diabetics will be wearing either a Tour de Cure jersey or a team jersey. If anyone sees a Team Red jersey on Saturday, that is my team!
