I just wanted to inform you about the Ability Tour. It is a ride located in Lansing, on July 24, with the purpose of raising awareness for people with disabilities. I am hoping that you can help me publicize this event throughout your group.

The Ability Tour is an event that showcases the abilities of all people. Through assistive technology and accommodations, the cycling industry has created opportunity for all people to ride. This tour, and Peckham, brings that opportunity to our community.

The Ability Tour is an inclusive ride that allows riders of all abilities to challenge themselves on our 8 mile, 30 mile or 50 mile routes. SAG services and aid stations will be available along with educational materials and programs to help communicate our message that people with disabilities are just as ABLE as anyone else.

If anybody is interested in registering, it can be done online: [www.active.com]

If you have any questions you can check out our website (www.abilitytour.org) or contact me through email.

I hope you will consider riding with us.]]> sysop Community Tue, 01 Jun 2010 09:08:56 -0400 http://www.hagertycycling.com/forum/read.php?4,90,90#msg-90 http://www.hagertycycling.com/forum/read.php?4,90,90#msg-90 Thank you.]]> onthank Classifieds Wed, 12 May 2010 20:15:42 -0400 http://www.hagertycycling.com/forum/read.php?3,89,89#msg-89 http://www.hagertycycling.com/forum/read.php?3,89,89#msg-89 Date

Any registered Tour rider who has diabetes can ride as a Red Rider and will receive a very special Red Rider bike jersey on the day of the event (a minimum of $150 must be met in order to be eligible to receive the jersey). This will help us to bring our mission to light on the day of the ride as our Red Riders on the course will be a visual reminder as to why we ride and who we are riding for. Red Riders will also have a special team tent set up at the start/finish line. All riders must check-in at our start/finish area at Brighton High School.

Relax and unwind when you finish riding by enjoying complimentary massage and live entertainment on our main stage. Our younger riders will be able to get their fill of fun in the new Animas Adventure Zone! We promise to provide a safe and memorable riding experience for all riders. Riders will be supported by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable team of volunteers at themed rest stops every 10-15 miles, featuring an array of rider-friendly food and beverages, and SAG (Support & Gear) vehicles along all routes.

FORM A TEAM - It's always more fun to ride with friends, family or a group of co-workers. Set a goal of forming of a team of at least five riders. You can ride together or ride different routes. REGISTER ONLINE NOW at [main.diabetes.org] and start raising funds today! We even provide all registered riders with their own Web page to make online fundraising as easy as possible.

We're hoping to be able to award each winner this own "SPOTTY JERSEY"




Expect this to be an event you proudly talk about when sitting around riding your trainer in each others basements talking about the race season during the LOOOONNNNNNGGGGG Michigan winter.

You can almost hear it now,

"yea, but you didn't race the Trophee, that one was EPIC!!!"

With MANY out-of-state racer expected for the 3-day race weekend (Erie St, Cadieux) we expect categories to fill up. The Cat 5's will surely reach their limit, as they did for May's Tour of Kensington Valley.

Keep me in the loop regarding your possible race in TC. I'm sure we could round up a crew and come on down. The tour on Sunday sounds like a great way to end the road season before pulling out the cross bike. Maybe we can convince Colligan to come off the farm for awhile to get on the bike.
Thanks again for helping to make the race what it is. check out www.mqtphoto.com for some recent pics.

I want to give a huge shout out to all of the domestique's on the Hagerty Team and to say congratulations for all of your efforts.

I currently run Neuvation (R28 Aero3's) and have been really happy with the performance/weight and customer service. You might be surprised to hear that I have actually had problems with some cracking on the rims and also a spoke pulling out of the hub, and still think this is a great wheel-set. Normally I would say these are crap and purchase something else, but the people at Neuvation have consistently replaced my wheels w/ rebuilt wheels at no charge. So in a world where things break all the time, finding a company that really stands behind their product is a rare find; therefore I recommend these to anyone.

On to the real question. I see some people have Carbon wheels that they run only on race day. What are the advantages? Lighter, stiffer, stronger and all of that? Has anyone had a bad experience w/ Carbon wheels? Do tell.]]> Tim Barrons Road Biking Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:35:19 -0400 http://www.hagertycycling.com/forum/read.php?3,34,34#msg-34 http://www.hagertycycling.com/forum/read.php?3,34,34#msg-34
