accepted the challenge of cycling 100 miles in
a day as part of the American Diabetes Association national
'Tour de Cure Challenge' which attracted over 600 cyclists
for a gruelling route through the hills, lakes and wonderful
scenery of western Washington State on Saturday 19th May 2007.
The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) Tour de Cure is a series of scenic and challenging cycling events held nationwide that raise funds to aid in the fight against diabetes. Rides are held in 40 states and 84 cities, mainly during the spring cycling season of April through June. Tour de Cure events feature routes for all riders, from the novice to the experienced cyclist. Go here to visit the Tour de Cure website and find out more. Mel and Bill Larson and John Bishop were among about 50 cyclists who completed the 100 mile challenge. Del Spivey (70 miles) and Glenna Trout (15 miles) weighed in on a wet and moody early summer Saturday. Overall the team raised in excess of $4,300.00 in sponsorship, with Mel achieving a fantastic personal total of over $3,000.00. |
