More Information
The official Capital Region Tour de Cure is 6/13 in Ballston Spa. Some of us will be riding in person as a warm-up ride. The following day, the three of us take our Trek Checkpoint bicycles on the train from Albany to Niagara Falls. NY. We start the 415 mile ride by crossing into Canada at the Rainbow Bridge and then back into the US at the Peace Bridge into Buffalo. From there we ride to Erie Canal mile marker 0 at Canalside, and then along the Empire State Trail to Corning Preserve in Albany. We'll be carrying our gear and staying in motels along the way. We have several points of interest planned, and we hope to try the local cuisine along the way. Did you know there was an Albany specific food?
Although 100% of donations received by this ride support the American Diabetes Tour de Cure, this is a privately organized ride.

- Spread awareness of the devastating effects of diabetes.
- Advocate for a child with diabetes to have the same learning opportunities at school.
- Fund life-saving research.
- Provide access to community programs and free resources that help those living with diabetes.
