Are you a Red Rider?

A Red Rider lives with diabetes every day, type 1 or type 2. You are why we ride and we want to celebrate you at the Tour de Cure. With hundreds of riders who may share a similar story, and hundreds more to support you, being a Red Rider can help with your first step or your millionth—in your fight to live a healthier life!

Register and learn more about the Red Rider program on the Red Rider page. All Red Riders receive a red rider jersey on the day of the event.

Not on a Team? Join Team Red!

You (and those that support you) can join the Silicon Valley Team Red, which is made up of Red Riders AND those who support Red Riders. This is a team that is for everyone and anyone that doesn't have a team.

Silicon Valley Team Red is led by Team Captain Bob Horne. Bob is a Red Rider and has participated in the Tour de Cure for several years. He leads casual training rides throughout the year  for people of all skill levels.

Team Red is a place for riders that want to connect with others that are passionate about the cause!
