Hi Cyclists, I have been working with Raleigh Fehr and other officers of your cycling club for the last couple of months regarding the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure. ADA has arranged the Tour next June to avoid conflict with the Little Red Riding Hood Century and the MS-150 so that people can do all three events. This message is to invite all of you to join the Gold's Gym Utah Tour de Cure cycling team. Raleigh authorized me to make this invitation and he fully endorses the joining of forces here to create a huge team that will make an impact on fighting Diabetes that effects 18,000,000 Americans. Gold's Gym is a National Sponsor raising funds for the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The Gold's Gym Utah team was the National winner last year among all of the Gold's teams that participated in the Tour de Cures around the country. We raised about $30,000 with 53 team members. I'd like to have several hundred team members in next year's Tour and raise more than $100K for ADA. I've invited more than a dozen clubs around Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming to join us in this effort. BBTC is the largest club so I hope we can get well over 50 members to join the team. When 50 join, the name of the team will be changed to include BBTC as part of the team name. Incentives: * Free Cycling Jersey from Gold's Gym made by Cannondale to every member who reaches the $100 fund raising minimum. * Free Cycling Shorts from Gold's Gym to match the jerseys for every member who reaches the $500 fund raising level. * Chance to win a free Spin Bike (used) retail value over $1000 from Gold's Gym. There my be more than one given away. * Chance to win a Trek 320 Road Frame, size 54cm, more information on this later from ADA. * ADA gives socks, jerseys, pants, jacket, carry bag, etc. to people who raise various levels of money for the Tour. Please put June 10, 2006 down as the Tour de Cure in Brigham City and ride 100, 60, or 25 miles on a great team. The ride is well supported with several rest stops, lunch, and an after ride BBQ and award ceremony. To join the team click on this link: Join Gold's Gym Utah team.
