We're having a Team Red fun ride on Sunday, 8/21, at 10am, in Amish Country. Invite your friends. We're starting at Frank Morrone's place in West Coatesville. See our Training Rides page for details.
There are a lot of you doing Livestrong or the Lancaster Covered Bridges ride that day - I hope you all have great rides! We were hoping to have a large Team Red contingent at the Covered Bridges ride, but the registration closed early when they hit their rider limit - we'll be sure to add this ride to our ride calendar for next year.
For everyone who was not able to get involved with those rides, please join our ride - all abilities are welcome and we'll ride at a leisurely to moderate pace.
Frank Morrone sent me this a while back - these are his thoughts and Frank's excited about Team Red!

The Way I See It
O K guys I am a Type 2 Diabetic.
I am not proud of it.
The question is did I do this to myself or is there a genetic component?
I don't know and I really don't care.
What I do know is that I have a problem,
and that traveling down the road and arriving at the intersection of
'Self Pity' and 'Why Me'
will not do any good.
But what to do?
Do I continue to feel sorry for myself?
What will that solve?
Think about it.
If I do nothing except exercise the TV remote,
my glucose numbers will climb out of control
possibly to the point of loosing a limb,
or my eyesight
or worst of all my manhood.
It appears that I have a choice
either to slide into oblivion
or get off the couch
and get on my bike!
I chose the bike
and since being declared Type 2 Diabetic
my numbers have come under control
and I am down 40 pounds.
What we all have to remember is the simple fact.
The couch kills.
Hills are tough.
The bike is life!
Come on board... Team Red welcomes all Diabetics.
