excitement where riders of all levels join forces in the fight to Stop Diabetes
and raise critical funds for diabetes research, education and advocacy in
support of the America Diabetes Association.

most scenic parks. Each year this motivating ride has turned into a spiritual
journey for those living with diabetes and their supporters.
Tour is a Ride, not a Race. The RACE is in
how much money we can RAISE to STOP DIABETES!

endurance – best suited for the experienced cyclist. Crossing 3 counties with plenty of hills

like. Turnaround signs will be posted at 5 miles and 7.5 miles on the
