Got Your “Tour Legs”On? Got your “tour legs”on? Tours are noncompetitive group rides for cyclists of various ages and abilities. Tour organizers (usually bicycle clubs) normally charge a modest fee to cover services provided.Budget tours and free rides usually offer few, if any, services; after all, they’re inexpensive or free!Full-service tours, however, typically offer a map, food stops, and road (“sag”) assistance and cost a bit more to cover expenses. Multi-day events provide additional services.Fundraisers may have higher entry fees to provide income for their causes.“Bike-a-thons” or“pledge rides” may or may not be operated in affiliation with a bicycle organization and fund-raise primarily through pledges of donations per mile each rider completes; they may have a minimum pledge amount in addition to an entry fee to maximize the benefit to their cause.Be sure to look ahead: some events have entry deadlines days or weeks ahead of the ride!

  • Helping People See the World Through Different Eyes
    Helping people see the world through different eyes... 6C Newsletter - December 2017 DG Steve Kinsky Chronology of a Lions Event Here’s a mini-chronicle of the Community Strides Walk for Diabetes held on Saturday, November 18. In reviewing what we did at each step along the way, I’m able to uncover some valuable information pertaining to the Walk that might make future ones more productive. August 14: I receive the Diabetes Awareness article for the MD6 Newsletter from Cyber’s Janice Smith and Chatfield’s Carol Louks. The article notes the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Tour de Cure event in early September and its Camp for Type 1 diabetes-afflicted youth, a JDRF fundraiser, some LCI tips on how to conduct a diabetes screening program and a blurb about women and diabetes. September 9: I attend Tour de Cure in Parker. Janice and I do the 3 mile walk. I notice numerous other diabetes advocacy organizations with booths. The event also features a bike ride with varying lengths - one as much as 100 kilometers. While we walk, Janice tells me of her annual Strides Walk for Diabetes.
