Tour de Cure: Final pre-event posting

The Tour de Cure event - Summit to Surf XIII - takes place in two days. You can still donate at our Team Tegan and Her Daddy page.

We've met our team goal of $5,000 - currently we are over $6,000. At one point we were in 2nd place out of 71 teams. Looks like the other big teams are finally getting their money in, and we are slipping back a little. Brian is a little short of his $2,000 goal...you could help with that if your charitable giving account is not empty this month...

Last Sunday - we took a drive up to Hood River to take a look at the course, and give it a test ride. It has incredible scenery - and in the Pacific Northwest - the scenery always includes ups and downs...unless you are at the beach.

We got on the bikes and went...it was hard - but we made it. There were quite a few other bikers on the trail, but I'm sure there will be a lot more this Saturday. Over 1,040 riders have registered. Not all of them will be doing our 10 mile course - but I'm sure all the family groups will. Even with the Gorge Games going on in Hood River - we saw many other cyclists.

So - early Saturday we will load up the bikes, head off to Hood River - and earn all the money that all of you have so graciously donated to the cause so dear to our family - the cure of diabetes Stay tuned for the results of this adventure!
