Atlanta Vampire Alliance [AVA]

[SoulSplat]

In association with the charity auction, Dragon*Con is proud to announce that we are forming TEAM DRAGON to participate in the Tour de Cure on May 20, 2007. Our team will join more than 800 cyclists to pedal our way to a cure for diabetes. Team captain, John Tackett, is confident that our team will raise more than $1500 for the cause.

The Tour de Cure will take place at Sandy Creek High School, Tyrone, Georgia (South Metro Atlanta). The Tour de Cure pampers its riders and provides plenty of route support. You can help in one of 2 ways. You can become a team rider and help to raise funds, or you can make a donation to an existing team rider.

To make a donation, just go to the team page at http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=team&fr_id=4372&team_id=194438 and you can choose a team member and make a donation to them. Or you can mail a check to the team if you like. Contact team captain, John Tackett at jtackett@bellsouth.net and he will get back with you

If you want to be a team rider, here is some important information. First thing to note is that the Tour is a ride, not a race, with routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. There will be a 8 mile Family Fun ride, and rides of 25k (15.5 miles), 50k (31 Miles) and 100k (62 Miles), so riders of all levels are invited to join the team. You'll travel a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel your journey and fans to cheer you on!
