2015 Saratoga Springs Tour de Cure: American Diabetes As...

[Oscar]

Hey everyone. This is a post for my friend Joe Fas, he's a member of CoasterCrazy known as SauronHimself. This is his third year cycling in the Tour de Cure diabetes ride. It's held by The American Diabetes Association and is intended to raise research money for curing this disease. He'll be cycling the metric century (100 km), and he's am collecting donations until the 7th of June which is the day of the event. If you are able to contribute, please do so via his page here: http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/Tourde ... r_id=10193

Thanks guys

As a cyclist, I believe he can!

I'd donate if I could, but I can only wish him luck! I haven't been able to do a century myself yet

EDIT: Just realized that said metric century - not an imperial century. 62 miles isn't that bad

The bottom line is that you have to know better about "food nutritions" if you bike more than 62 miles. There is a pretty much difference between 62 and 100 or century what we cyclists call.

Hey guys. I appreciate any monetary support you can throw my way. So far I've raised $2517. If I could get that to $3000 before the event (07 June), that would be stellar.

Anyone who donates towards this will be given 250 CC points for every dollar you give

Donate $35 or more and I'll throw in a year of Premium membership.

Almost there! Want to see your bike tour report, if possible!

I'll be filming the whole ride. This is last year's Tour de Cure:

As of this afternoon I've accrued $3690. If you're able to provide a donation, please do so before 07 June.

Can't wait for June 7th! Have a fantastic bike run!

Update: I've surged up to $4610 as of today, and I'm setting my sights on a $5000 goal. I have a week to close the gap, and I would really appreciate all the help I can get. Your donations don't have to be big either. As long as they're the minimum $10 the ADA requires, that's fine with me.

[SauronHimself]

Guys, I am now at $4745. PLEASE help me reach $5000 before close of business Friday!

[SauronHimself]

Recap: My final total stood at $5091, which was just under half the total for my company's team ($12735).

Here is a video compilation of clips from the route:

^ Whoa, those participants looked really fast! I was also amazed by your bike speed!

Glad you reached your goal!
