The Ride to Cure Diabetes challenges you to extend your athletic capabilities while presenting you with an opportunity to make a significant contribution to find a cure for diabetes. Variable route distances and a fully supported training program open this event to people of all athletic abilities (100, 62 or 31 miles). The fun includes meeting a lot of great people, organized (but not mandatory) sightseeing and leisure activities, lots of inspiration and celebration of your accomplishments. The highlight, of course, is a spectacular bike ride through an extraordinary scenic location. In short, it will be an incredible experience that you’ll never forget
We are very pleased to announce the Rides for 2008 – a year full of great venues, exciting rides, and new friends all while helping JDRF find a cure for diabetes.
Whitefish, MT Aug 28-31
