An incredible night before party, and the biggest start & finish line you’ve ever seen!

 Tour de Cure 2010 is catering to the entire community. Whether you’re an extremely experienced rider up for an exhilarating challenge, or you’re a family hitting the trail together at your own pace, we have a ride for you! Join us for our 100 mile Century Ride, Metric Century, 35 miles, 25 miles, 10 miles, or our 5 mile family fun ride. Ride it by yourself, bring a friend, or form a team…just be sure to ride! 

We’ll kick the day off with a great breakfast! Our bike shop sponsors, Trek Bicycle Store, AJ’s Bikes and Boards and Revolution Bicycles will be there to assist you with any mechanical needs you may have before and throughout the ride. There will also be skilled medical personnel for any medical needs that may arise. Unique and exciting rest stops located every 6-12 miles will provide you with incredible refreshments and pump you up for the next leg of the ride! 

When the ride is finished let the party begin! There will be live bands, awards, incredible vendors, massage therapy and a health and wellness zone! An amazing ride deserves an amazing lunch and it will be provided! 

This is not your average bike ride…this is the premier ride of Tampa Bay! Why? Because every 20 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes and we’re planning the ride with passion and finding a cure in mind. Come join us in our fight….you’ll be so glad you did!
