Old News

A few weeks ago, some friends and I participated in the Tour de Cure. We rode 62 miles to benefit the American Diabetes Association.

Here we are before the ride, bright eyed and bushy tailed. I wish you could see our team shirts that we decorated. They were a riot. Of course, we shed them before the ride:



Just a side note, the river is higher than that, now!

And, I was "tricked" into riding with the super fast, leaders. When I realized who I was riding with, it was "sink or swim," so I thought, well, let's see how long I can hang on. It was about 14 miles. I slowed down, significantly, the rest of the ride. I took a picture of my avg. pace at the first SAG stop. I've never had that high an average & probably won't again for a very long time!

Good Deeds

Feeling down? Wondering how you can make a difference in the world? Well, today's your lucky day! Several friends of mine and I formed a team, Beat da 'betes, to ride in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure. We will be riding a metric century, which is 62 miles, to support research to find a cure for diabetes.

This weekend, a few teammates and I braved the 20mph winds and cold weather for a long training ride. We had a few laughs along the way!

I, like many other people, have friends and family who have diabetes. Although, I enjoy cycling anyway, I am riding in this event in hopes of a cure, so that other people will not have to live with diabetes. Thanks in advance and big thanks to all my friends who have already donated to this cause!
