Tour de Cure Just Around the Corner
The Birmingham Alabama Tour de Cure is just 19 weeks away. I’ve started my training mostly by commuting to work (15 mile round trip), but I’ll be doing longer rides as the weather permits. It’s been cold in Alabama lately, and riding outside takes a special kind of resolve.
More importantly, I’ve started my fundraising for this year’s TDC. The training for the ride is important, and serves as a great lead in for asking for donations. Doing time on the bike trainers and home gyms is not the most important part of Tour. The most important part is doing my part to cure this disease, and I can do that best by raising as much money as possible. My goal is $5000.
I’m the rider recruitment chair for the Birmingham Tour de Cure. Don’t be surprised if you get a note or call from me asking you to join the Tour. I’ll ask you first to be a rider. If you don’t feel comfortable being a rider, I’ll gladly accept a donation. If you want to track my progress, just head on over to http://main.diabetes.org/goto/david.wilkins
