We had a great time at the
CNY Tour de Cure with almost 1,000 riders on the roads. Thank you to
all our partipants, especially our Red Riders. A huge thank you goes out
to all the Tour volunteers who work tirelessly to make this event one
of the best fundraising events in the area.

Tour de Cure is more than just a cycling event. It's a life-changing event. A day full of fun and 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 American Diabetes Association.

Routes for All Skill Levels
The Tour de Cure prides itself on being a safe and fun ride. All our
routes are marked by color directional signs depending on your route.
The 100 mile for instance will follow the red signs. Rest stops are
waiting for you every 10 - 12 miles and there is full support from bike
shop mechanics in case you need some help with a flat tire.
The route maps will be posted soon, so make sure you check back. This
year you will be able to downlaod the GPS coordinates if you want them
for your own GPS device.

Do you or someone you know have diabetes?
Thousands of people with diabetes participate in Tour as "Red Riders". Red Riders are the reason we ride—they are given a jersey to proudly wear on the day of the event. Beyond the recognition, Red Riders are part of a community that inspires us to ride and raise money to Stop Diabetes. Be sure to choose "Red Rider" when you register!
Champions To Stop Diabetes
When you ride in Tour de Cure, you take part in something unique. You join the ranks of some of the most passionate  people in the country people who care about cycling, health and, above all, finding a cure for diabetes.
If you raise $1,000 or more for a local Tour de Cure you will automatically become a Champion to Stop Diabetes and will receive special recognition on the weekend of the event, along with special perks all year long!
If you raise $2,600, in honor of the 26 million Americans living with diabetes, you will become a Champion on a Mission and will receive the coveted gold Champions jersey.
