This past Saturday, May 17th, Pam and I participated in the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure.  We rode 45 miles in 90+ degree heat under sunny skies – and we are proud of it!  Not only did we ride the whole route escaping dehydration and the loss of feeling in our legs, we have raised close to $1800 for diabetes research…and the donations keep on coming.  I got to sport the super cool “Red Rider” cycling jersey because I am a diabetic.  It wasn’t fun getting passed by in-shape super cyclists, but it was really neat to have them say “Good job!” as they gracefully rode past.
