Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

(TNT = Team in Training)

I'm 14 and want to know if there's an age limit for that. I like to ride, but my grades are nowhere near good enough for my parents (3.69 GPA, not that bad, is it? ) ; my parents took notice and said stuff like this would like good on my college apps . Although I was a little wierded out at first, I came to my senses and thought it was a great idea. I've registered on their website and all I need to do is attend one of their informational meetings, but I just need to make sure that they won't prevent people my age attending.

It's a program where you train for a certain sport (running, walking, cycling, or a triathlon). After training, you participate in a triathlon, a marathon, or a century. You buddy up with a cancer patient and they provide motivation for you to keep going. All the money raised by you and your sponsors goes to a leukemia foundation, I believe.

Yeah, I noticed that. But I don't think the thousands of cancer patients nationwide would like that... Haha.

the only thing about TNT is the minimum donation of $2500 bucks. If you raise 2499.99, you don't get to ride in the event.

and I believe that the better name for the group would be 'Team In Training Squad'

The price point is different for every event, and based upon where you live. For example, I have to raise $3900 for AMBBR from Mississippi. I could do the Memphis in May Tri for only $2100

Why not just find a contact name/number on their website and ask?

Don't let that get you down. That is perfectley reasonable! Heck I have to raise 3300 dollars by october for the PMC!

The part I am more worried about is the approx 190 miles I ahve to do over two days!
