Congratulations Twin Cities Tour de Cure!
With the threat of monsoon rains in the forecast, for mid afternoon last Saturday, over 2,000 riders and volunteers for the Twin City Tour de Cure came out to make this annual occasion more than just another bicycling event. Talking with many of the Red Riders (those in the red shirts, riding with diabetes) “it’s a life-changing event,” and fun was had by all.
As the sun rose, setting the stage for the day’s activities, excitement was in the air as riders from as far away as California, Colorado, Florida and Texas coupled with teams here in Minnesota for a day of fun, while joining forces in the fight to Stop Diabetes.
Starting and finish at Minnehaha Falls, a scenic park area in south Minneaplois, Minn., all ages and levels of riders selected from the 7 -18 -26 – 45 – 62 or 100 mile route’s, well marked and supported.
Raising critical funds for diabetes research, education and advocacy in support of the American Diabetes Association you can see by the photos here, on the Twin Cities Tour de Cure website and their Facebook page fun was had by all – and just about everyone was back before the rains hit.

So proud of my niece and her husband who rode in this. Have to beat this problem so insulin and meds can be retired.
Balance in the 5 pillars of health and wellness is a good starting point for this situation. Become informed about other option, such as natural energy from nature.
