I'm riding 35 miles in the Chicagoland Tour de Cure this June to raise money to help STOP diabetes. I'm also riding to support my husband +David Gibbs in his own ride – he's the leader of Team RED. Tour de Cure is a major fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association.
I'm also riding because it's fun, and great exercise. I'll be training over the winter in our basement, and I'll get training stats up on STRAVA, a fitness social media site.
If I raise just $100 by Friday, I qualify for an "In Training" T-shirt. So please consider helping me achieve my second goal (my first goal is to ride 20 miles on the trainer and post it on STRAVA).
Thanks!
Here's a link to my fundraising page. David has a cool mapping feature enabled, with code he wrote, to show contributions from all over the world. That'll be displayed on the map page, so I'm looking forward to seeing that update.
Update: it's not a bad riding experience, managed to ride about 35 minutes or more. There are some technical issues to work out (ie., make sure iPhone or iPad is fully charged) and the clutter in the basement needs to be dealt with.
