Riders from around the world take on two challenges: raising the money needed to fund research for better treatments and a cure for diabetes, and reaching a personal training goal to prepare for a destination cycling experience.

JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes destinations are designed for riders at all fitness levels. Even if you are not an everyday cyclist, our USA Cycling certified coaches will work with you in the months prior to the Ride to develop a training program based on your individual needs.

The first Ride of the season is held the weekend of July 25-28 in Burlington, VT, which is a premier cycling destination. The course follows more than 100 miles through historic villages and country roads featuring covered bridges and flowing rivers.

JDRF would like to thank Stamford Hospital and Allstate for their continued support of the Ride program.
