Welcome to the Illinois Ride to Cure Diabetes Blog!
Join Team Illinois for the 2011 Ride to Cure Diabetes! The Ride is a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget.
JDRF Ride destinations are designed for riders of all fitness levels and there are multiple mileage options to choose from. Even if you are not an everyday cyclist, our USA Cycling certified Illinois coach will work with you in the months prior to the Ride to develop a training program based on your individual needs.
The Illinois Ride team meets monthly for training rides and team building. Team rides will be hosted in Chicago and the suburbs starting in April. Look for the training calendar soon and come out for a ride! This is a great way to get some miles in, meet your teammates, talk about fundraising ideas, learn to ride in a group and just have a good time!
As a Rider you commit to a fundraising minimum; in return JDRF will provide you with a fully supported Ride weekend. Fundraising packages range from $2,000 to $4,000.
Unique Ride Destinations include: Burlington, Vermont; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Lake Tahoe, Nevada (Tour De Tahoe); Death Valley, California; Tuscan, Arizona (Tour de Tuscan).
