FUN PART:

This is an "indoor cycling - a thon." This only means one of the indoor bikes has to have someone in the seat from 10 AM to 5 PM Nov. 14, World Diabetes Day. Riders have to be 48" tall; anyone can ride. We are requesting donations per team (corporate donors - we would love you). The indoor cycle may have one rider for 8 hours, 8 riders for an hour, 16 riders for 30 minutes, 32 riders for 15 mintues, however determined by team. Donations can be made to any time by clicking HERE.

Honeytree, Costco, Tijuna Flats, Red Elephant, Target, The Fresh Market ... lots of food and drink. The Tallahassee Memorial Diabetes Center will be there to educate about diabetes and do risk assessments.

The indoor cycling club is SWEAT THERAPY FITNESS, Mid-Town, Tallahassee, Fl. We will track donations and tell team captains who can then contact you to ask if you want to ride --- or just donate
