Tour de Cure | From the Inside Out
by Laura P
After work on Friday, Gary and I traveled to Ft. Worth to begin our “Tour de Cure” weekend. Tour de Cure is a series of cycling events held in 43 states nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association. The North Texas cycling event was being held this year at the Texas Motor Speedway.

THE VENUE and this RACE IS LIKE NO OTHER IN TEXAS!

The course is a 33 mile loop of scenic paved roads completely closed to traffic.  There are challenging climbs and descents.  The course is entirely on Fort Hood, a US Army military base, and as such, all participants may be required to sign a military event participation waiver and are subject to military rules and regulations.  Free-range wild cattle live in the area of the event and may present themselves on the course without warning.  This will be like no other Texas racing experience.

We will have a limited amount of TRP winter clothing (vests, jackets, knee warmers, knickers for sale on site) just in case you forget yours.

Saturday morning we will again have the National Anthem just before the P1 start, please be aware and give the proper respect.

The flyer contains much, detailed, information on subjects such as:

* Championship eligibility requirements
* Promoter supplied Jersey requirements
* Special Junior 10 – 12, 13 – 14 Starting locations and instructions
* Our special Open Race for those who want to ride this incredible course
