THANK YOU Nebraska/W.Iowa!

We all know the USPS creed, 'Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night...', well, the wind can blow and the rain can come down but it cannot stop the Nebraska Tour de Cure!  We did it!  What a HUGE success! 

Thank you to everyone who joined us Saturday and stuck it out through the raindrops and wind to show your support in the fight to STOP DIABETES!  We all salute your perseverence and spirit and dance moves.  The riders, the volunteers, the vendors, the sponsors, the committee, the staff, and most of all the RED RIDERS.  YOU are why we ride!
