Tour de Cure is a fundraising ride for the American Diabetes Association. To participate each rider should go to the ADA website:
ADA - Tour de Cure
Register for one of four rides:
You have the option to join a team. I'm riding on the "Sutter Health" team. It would be great if you would join also.
Registration is $15 and you are requested to raise at least $150. I've found that this is quite easy to do. Just email friends and family and let them know about the ADA cause.
All rides are at your own pace. There will be SAG vehicles patrolling the routes.
I would strongly recommend to those doing the centuries to do some training before the ride.
I will be posting a few training rides that will be used by other Tour de Cure riders.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Yeah, that'd be great! I was surprised when I saw that there wasn't one already. I bet we could get a bigger crowd together if we make a team.
Team Hammering Wheels! That sounds like a great idea! Let me know if you want to register the team officially on the website. I can talk to Mark who organizes the event.
Tom, I would to do a Hammerin' Wheels Team. Is that something I can do or something we need Mark to do?
Hey Mica,
I think that Mark will have to do it since everyone has already signed up. I think all you will have to do is give Mark a list of the HW members that want to be on the team. If you put the list together, I think that he can put the team together. Let me know if you want me to talk to him.
What times are people leaving for the 100 miles? Maybe we can ride together. I plan on a fairly fast pace.
I plan on being there early and starting on the course at 7:30 when the route opens. However if there is a group of people going then I am flexible. I do not know what the Sutter team (the one I'm on) has planned for though.
Mica and Alex I'll ride with you guys if you want. I plan on leaving 7:30-8 whatever is good for the group.
Sounds good. I live literally less than 3 miles away from Roseville HP, so I'll be riding in. Let me know.
Where would be a good place to meet? I'm not too familar with the area.
Mica, et al: I'll be there at 7:30, too. I'm flexible on the pace as long as we get a few good gusts in there.
I am not sure where to meet, as I've never been to the Roseville HP facility. Either way, look for me in my Red/White Sutter Health jersey. I have a white/black Tarmac.
Registration opens at 6 am and course is open @ 6:30 am. I would personally like to start early to beat the bike traffic on the route and the crowds at rest stops. Plus, I'm in for another 100 the next day so I want to get done early. What do you guys think of 6:30 am?
Sure, that works for me. The times I quoted earlier were wrong - I was staring at the 100K on the sheet instead of the 100 mile haha. Will be on the lookout for that green LeMonde of yours, Mica :)
How about we meet at 6am at the registration booth? I'll be there at six to turn in my paperwork. I'll be on my neon green and black cannondale. 6:30 start?
Hey everyone. New to the club and this is going to be my first organized ride. I am doing the 100k. I signed on with the sutter health team. Is anyone from the club doing the 100K?
Hello,
Are there any women or slower riders going for 100 miles? I am not sure I can catch up with Mica all the way. :=) Since this is my first 100-mile riding, I am planning to finish it in 8 hours or so; starting at 6:30a.m. Would anyone like to join me?
Lourdes, that sounds good. Do we actually go into the HP parking lot with our cars or what? I drove out there last weekend as I didn't know where it was located. I'm in Elk Grove. This is all new to me.
I'll see you Mica and Derek, at 6 at the registration booth woo :)
Blaine and Paul, do you guys wan't to do a HW's team with me?
