Third Annual Tour de Keuka Benefits JDRF

 

This summer, cyclists from across Central New York and Northern 
Pennsylvania will ride together in the 3rd Annual Tour de Keuka, a 
cycling event and fundraiser benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research 
Foundation <www.jdrf.org>  (JDRF).  Sponsored by several organizations 
in our community, the Tour de Keuka provides an opportunity for 
cyclists to traverse one of the most beautiful regions in New York 
State while supporting a worthy cause.   

 

The ride around the Keuka country side will be held on Saturday, July 
28th 2007, starting at the Hammondsport Fire Department and following 
a scenic route around Keuka Lake. The century ride begins at 7:30am 
and the half-century begins at 10:30am.

 

The Tour de Keuka is a supported ride, with end-of-event sweepers to 
ensure riders' safety.   Complimentary beverages, fruit and snacks 
will also be available to all riders at the starting and ending points 
of each route, as well as along the route at about 20 mile intervals. 

 

Our 2007 goal is to raise $20,000 to benefit JDRF.  Riders must raise 
at least $50 to participate, and the first 40 riders raising $200 or 
more receive a commemorative bike jersey.  Friends, family and 
coworkers who sponsor riders can pledge an amount per mile, or make a 
flat donation.  All donations are due a week after the ride on August 
4.
