Ride in Palo Alto, June 2011

Here's a friendly nudge to please register for the Tour de Cure in June if you plan to ride. Once I gauge interest level, I'll organize group training rides and the coveted Mighty Broncos cycling jersey/kit.

Click on "Join My Team" (http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/SanJoseArea?px=5927185&pg=personal&fr_id=7615)

The ride is on June 12, 2011. It starts and ends at HP's headquarters in Palo Alto.

EVENT ROUTE & HIGHLIGHTS

The Silicon Valley Tour de Cure has 4 great bike routes to choose from that let riders enjoy the unique beauty of Silicon Valley. The ride begins at Hewlett Packard located at 3000 Hanover Street in Palo Alto. Riders of all skill level are welcome and our routes are fully supported with well-stocked rest stops and SAG (Support and Gear) vehicles. Register and choose the event that works best for you.

25k Our family-friendly ride through beautiful Palo Alto is accessible to all ages and fitness levels.

50k: Offers a moderate challenge while being safe and scenic. Frequent rest stops and plenty of SAG patrols make this ride a great choice for the beginner to intermediate cyclist. (I did this last year, and it was great. There is one hill: Alpine Rd, which is not bad if you've practiced on it a few times... also, it's about 1-2 miles... totally doable!)

75k: The perfect choice for the intermediate to advanced cyclist. Full route support ensures a safe ride from start to finish. (I'm going to do this one!)

120k: The 120k is a true test of endurance - best suited for the experienced cyclist. (Matt did this one last year, and will do it again this year.)


We are asked to raise at least $200. It goes to the American Diabetes Association. And no competition or anything, but Stanford has already beat us... they've raised $95.

More information about the Tour de Cure.

If it's ok with all of you, I'm going to invite current students as well as alumni, family, and friends to join the Mighty Broncos Team for this event.

Hope all is well!!!
