Tour de Cure Fairbanks, AK

[Phoenixblue]

Hello all,

DH and I are riding in the Tour de Cure June 5, here in Fairbanks, AK.
Our team is the Fairbanks DISers.

Is anyone else riding in a Tour elsewhere? I recall Pete had posting about someone before.

I wasn't sure we would be able to do the tour this year, as we won't have our usually Grandma kidlette care. So we may be having to take them with us this time, if our secondary babysitter can't come through. DD will ride a co-pilot behind DH and DS will ride in a trailer pulled by me. For 21 miles. We are doing the 25k, or what they call the 25k .. it really 33k!

We could use some pixie dust for everyone participating in the ride. We have a lot of smoke in the area, as we have a lot of forest fires burning right now (again, sigh, last year was really bad for smoke - looking to be another bad year). So we are actually hoping for cloudy and a slight rain to help the firefighters with the fires and to keep the smoke down.

Phoenixblue, DW and I rode in the Atlanta – Tour de Cure last month, it was our first. We were part of the Red Riders team and rode 32 miles. We had a blast and will do it again next year!

Hope the smoke clears in Fairbanks and you have a successful event.

Here’s some pixie dust…(although I think you might prefer some rain).

We rode last year here as well and it was a beautiful day (got a tad cloudy with rain at the end though). I proudly wore my DIS shirt for the ride and decided to make a DIS team this year. But as you can imagine, there really are not too many DISers here in the middle of Alaska it seems....

Thanks for the pixie dust

Wow I admire you riding it with the smoke...but please don't blow it to the east this year!! We are fearing for a bad fire season too.... it is too warm and dry to early this year. Good luck and have fun.
