Starting off with 2 this year. Orlando and Venice, the ADA's got a few more as well. (http://tour.diabetes.org/site/PageServer?pagename=TC_signup&s_event_state=3461)

I push the Tour de Cure's and diabetes rides that seek support to fund solutions, seek cures, and help provide info to those that need it. All of this cost money - Please come out and ride in or support my rides if you can.

So far, I'm doing 2 of them this year...who knows, perhaps more to come, but Please help if you can...

22 Feb 2009 - Orlando/Ft Christmas: http://main.diabetes.org/goto/Drew-Orlando

1 Mar 2009 - Venice/Caspersen Beach: http://main.diabetes.org/goto/Drew-Venice2009

I'm in the "Red Rider" teams at both of these - Anyone interested in participating either to ride or volunteer, please feel free to PM me. The real plea is for support - I'd like to raise a bunch, and will appreciate anything that can be given.

Note to self: with Crank Bros clip-ons, make sure both screws are tight. Lost one and it cost me bigtime! Started off fine, attempted stopping to fix something and couldn't clip out - went down like someone's first time using clips. Were it really cost was getting the shoe off the platform, and noticing that one screw was missing. Bad habit I guess, I've always just looked to make sure everything looked normal on the shoes, not take an allan wrench to them and actually tighten them down. Oh well, lesson learned.

It was nice to meet you Drew...Man the weather was a killer...I was able to do the century, but it was very hard for sure....10-15 mph winds with winds gusts at 23 mph, 60 degrees and some rain...Not the weather I want to attempt my first century in, but I did it anyway...
