Tom Butler wanted to invite anyone from GEARs to join us here for a ride around Lake Washington.  They are putting together what they hope will be the largest team in the Tour de Cure PNW. This is the annual fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association. We are currently the top team, and I want to keep it that way.

 

By having a large team, we will send a message to everyone around us that cycling is a great way to stay active later in life.  We have a jersey sponsor so we will all have matching jerseys. 

 

He would LOVE it if a group of you could come up.  If people are interested, I will work on a place for you to stay.

 

He is pushing people to register early because I need to order the jerseys soon to guarantee that they are here in time.  Also, the earlier people register, the more time I have to help them fund raise.

 

The registration is only $30, and I have some organizational sponsors that can help with the required $250 donation.  People can register at our team page by clicking the “Join Our  Team” button. 

 

Tom attached a document that was put together to help people get donations.  I also attached an image of the jersey.

 

Here are the route options. https://ridewithgps.com/events/455983-2026-pnw-tour-de-cure

 

Let him know if you have any questions. I would be great for you to meet some of the people who ride together here.

This sounds like a great ride & cause. However it is on the same day as the Oregon Coast Gravel Epic in Waldport which draws about 300+ riders?

If anyone is interested in participating on this group effort this is where you go to register for The Cycling Over 60 team and pay your $30 to register.  

The registration requires that you commit to raising $250 for the American Diabetes Association.

If you want to do this, you can reach out to Tom, he did mention that he has some sponsors that will assist with the $250 donation.


Thanks,
Erin
