I just got diagnosed last fall. I'm going tot ry to do the full century in Easton MD https://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/?pg=entry&fr_id=8042 - the Chesapeake Bay is a great (flat and scenic) place to ride. Plus, I'll get a new jersey.
I even joined a team!

I'm not a Red Rider, but I'll be a ride marshall (May I help you with that flat?) again this year for the Phoenix ride.

Due to economic reasons, I had to lay him off. Poor chap. He took early retirement and is now living on some otherwise uninhabited island somewhere with a Polynesian coed, or so I've heard. Probably hates me. I miss him.

Wow, I've been a red rider all along and didn't even know there was such a label. I'll have to look into the local options in my area.

Not a Red Rider, but have many friends and family members with diabetes, and participated in my first TdC at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year, finishing 33rd in fundraising for the event and had a blast doing it. I've already signed up for this year, though I think I may do the road route this time.

Riding in the Phoenix and Las Vegas TDC. A team of classmates from Phoenix (South Mountain High School '72) is riding in honor of classmate Paul H. We are Paul's Rebel Rally. Hey AZ Tall, be sure to hang close to a group of 50+ers with a rebel flag in their logo. Do you carry Oxygen?

I'm a Red Rider. This will be my first TdC ride, (in Los Angeles). I hope they give jerseys instead of T-shirts. Web site says it could be either.

I rode the Reston TDC twice before and now I'm going to ride it on June 3 as a Red Rider. Anyone want to meet in Reston and ride together? It's a great ride--well organized and the pit stops are terrific.
