Why Ride?
The Ride to Cure Diabetes is a unique and exciting way to fight diabetes. Participants choose from one of four Ride locations and bike for their choice of distance (usually between 30 and 100+ miles) to raise money to find a cure for diabetes.
The Rides are 3-day adventures with incredible people featuring exhilarating 1-day bike rides. Variable route distances are geared toward both the seasoned rider and those new to the sport.
“It’s a once in a lifetime experience that everyone should do at least two or three times!”
