Ride for Diabetes Contribution

[XfireZ51]

All,

I'm doing a ride for diabetes on June 13. I have a goal of $200 and am hoping to make a 65 mile ride putting the hip I fractured last year to the test. If you'd like to donate please go to this link and give what you can. Thanks in advance.

The donation application requires some personal information that I'd rather not expose. Is there a direct Pay-Pal address ?

Frank,

The donation can be made anonymously. Or make something up and then go on to PP.

Tried making the donation anonymously. One still has to fill out the billing information * or it kicks back.

Frank,

Yes you need to put in billing info but it will not be disclosed anywhere if you check that option. Thanks for trying.

Did a ~ 67 mile bike ride yesterday in the Tour de Cure for Diabetes. Thank you to those who contributed for this great cause. It was a hell of a ride that started with a deluge for the first 45 min. But being wet as a drowned rat helped later providing "air-conditioning" as the ride progressed.


Here's my Sportracker recording of the route and times. Really helped to have a group of riders to work with. Our average speed and overall times were much better than I originally expected.

A damn good bike makes a ride like this relatively "easier. Worth every penny.

Carbon fiber, yeah baby! Well done.

Actually no if it supports your hip joints properly. You also DEFINITELY need to use cycling shorts with proper chamois inserts. Also, seat has a "relief" channel to help with any pressure on the urethra.
