Diabetes Challenge Ride Sunday

Sorry for the late notice. On Sunday the Suncoast Cycling Club and Frenchy's restaurants are hosting their annual Diabetes Challenge ride to benefit, you guessed it, the America Diabetes Association.

Not a very accomplished rider?
Hey, it’s a ride, not a race! We’ve got four different distances for you to choose from, including a 10K Pinellas Trail ride, so the whole family can participate.
Challenge yourself!
Set a fund raising goal for yourself or form a team and work together. It’s your chance to do something worthwhile and be part of the solution! Plus, you can qualify for some really cool incentives!
Most of us know someone who has struggled with diabetes.
Believe it or not, just by participating in the Diabetes Challenge, your donation will make a difference!
So, get ready, choose a ride, and maybe sweat a bit, but mostly you can smile because you’ll know you are making a difference in the lives of the over 21 million Americans affected by diabetes!

There are some great door prizes and a raffle for a Specialized Roubaix road bike. The ride starts at Highlander Park in Dunedin from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. depending on the distance. Gear up, ride hard, save lives.

Coming from St. Pete? There's a small group leaving from 102nd and the Pinellas Trail at 6:30 a.m., riding up to the start in Dunedin. Depending on the number of riders, they will take either the Trail or Indian Rocks Rd. up to S. Ft. Harrison thru Clearwater, then Alt 19 to Duedin. Riders should be in Dunedin by about 7:15 a.m., riding at a moderate pace.
