A riding buddy of ours is captaining a team hoping to raise at least $750 for this year's Tour De Cure, an event supporting the American Diabetes Association.

This is what Tyler has to say:

I am captaining a team of 5 to raise over $750 and complete a 100 mile ride on June 13th at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I will be cycling in the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure fund-raising event. Please support me with a donation by selecting the "Click Here to Sponsor Me" link.

I support this for a number of reasons:

1) My grandmother has diabetes, which makes it real to me.
2) Other people who are not my grandmother have diabetes, which makes it real to them, and those who care about them.
3) They inadvertently plug the Indy Cog without actually plugging the Indy Cog by also having a Why We Ride section.
4) The American Diabetes Association knows a good font when they see one.

Please head over to The Spandex Bandit's donation page and support the cause.
