Bicycling for a Cure


This year, on June 2nd, MCC is hosting the 22nd annual Tour de Cure, a benefit ride for the American Diabetes Association.  Last year, over 2,000 riders participated, raising over $860,000.  With the event being held at MCC, I’d like to assemble a team to represent the college.  There are a variety of distances: 3 miles, 15 miles, 25 miles, 40 miles, 62.5 miles, or 100 miles.  I’ve participated several years – it’s been a fun experience, and is well-supported, with rest stops and many volunteers ready to help. I hope that faculty, staff, and students are interested. Riders of all ages are welcome.  If you’re interested, please contact me via email ( "mailto:drobertson@monroecc.edu") or phone (292-2422).  Details about Rochester’s Tour de Cure can be found here:
