Hello BAIC,
Im always on here, lurking, and posting occasionally- but I know everybody on here is very supportive, so...
On May 3rd I, along with a few friends, will be riding in the 'Tour de Cure', a ride organized to support the American Diabetes Association. Leading up to that I have been, and will continue to train for ride the 50 mile segment of the ride that will take place in and around Napa.
Each rider needs to raise $200 in donations to ride. Whatever the difference is I will make up, but it would be awesome to be able to donate more than the required amount, since it is going to a great cause.
I know how diabetes affects those that have the disease as well as their family members since I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 11 years old. It would be awesome to have your support, whether that comes in the form of your thoughts, or a dollar or two that you have to spare.

Thanks for your support!

And how about a pic for some more interesting post content

 

right on. i rode this a few years back - napa is a nice ride. are you riding the fixie? hardcore.

 

nice. That should be nice. Same question? You gonna do the 50 on a fixie?? I used to do 20-30 mile training rides on my fixed gear a few years back and it is flippn hard. How are you taking donations?

 

I may be participating in this as well. I need to start training though... haha.

Same as above... are you really going to ride fixed? I'm going to use my Kestrel 200sci.

 

Nice bike TurboRob, I have the same one. Kestrel 200 Sci. good luck on the ride on the fixie if that is what you are using, gonna be a tough 50

 

I am thinking about ridding it this year if I can get my butt into shape.

 

Awesome! I just got it and have not been able to ride it yet, since the weather is ****. I can't wait though.

 

im still deciding on whether im going to ride fixed or not, i just picked up a 1990 Cannondale Campagnolo Athena road bike, which I'll probably ride. It would be fun to ride the fixed gear, but 50 miles is quite a distance

Donations can be made through each of the links that I posted. Just hit the donations tab, select CA, then the Napa ride and you can search for riders. Dustin English is my name if you would like to sponsor me.

I'd love to see some other i-clubbers out there too!!

 

I extend my sincere gratitude towards you and the other riders. I will donate after my next payday

 

lotsa riders i see. we should get an iclub peloton together.

 

Bump for Tour de Cure!

 

Sounds like a good cause!

i'll throw in a few bucks for you guys/gals...

 

you can donate right through the link i posted. that way you can know for sure the money is going right to the organization, with no loss of paypal fees or anything its easy too, any check/credit card should work!

thanks everyone for your support! it is greatly appreciated!
