Hope at least a few of you got out to see the TD Bank Mayor’s Cup last Saturday and see Shawn Milne of Team Type 1 (and Beverly, MA) come in second in the men’s Pro/1/2 race.

September 28th, 2009TT1 : Tour of Ireland 2009
August 21st, 2009
Pez Cycling News will be posting daily reports form Team Type 1′s Fabio Calabria during this year’s 3-stage Tour of Ireland.
Last year, TT1′s Matt Wilson won KOM and was 4th in GC.
RIP Susan Nelson
August 7th, 2009If you’re reading this, you probably read all sorts of cycling blogs and are familiar with the Fat Cyclist, Eldon Nelson. We’ve all been entertained by Fatty’s wit and humor, but also his frankness and openness in sharing Susan’s ordeal with the world. Who hasn’t been on a ride without seeing at least one pink Fat Cyclist “Win Susan” jersey?
If you don’t know by now, Eldon’s wife, Susan succumbed to a particularly vicious form of breast cancer on August 5.
We at NEC join the rest of the cycling community in mourning her loss and our hearts and thought go out to Eldon and the children, Nigel (15), Brice (13) and Katie and Carrie (7).
TT1 & TT2 @ RAAM
June 30th, 2009The New York Times has an article by Tara Parker-Pope about Team Type 1‘s entry in the 3000-mile Race Across America (RAAM) .They finished in 5 days, 9 hours, 5 minutes.
While the article doesn’t mention it, Team Type 2 was also an entrant in RAAM. Team Type 2 finished in 7 days, 7 hours, 24 minutes.
Less than 2 weeks to NEC!

Amgen Tour of California
February 14th, 2009The Amgen Tour of California begins today in Sacramento. Many of the heavy hitters will be there with 17 teams in total including 8 pro tour teams. Astana (with Lance) is, of course, generating lots of interest as is last year’s Tour de France winner, Carlos Sastre (ESP, Cervélo).
Really, lots of big names are there: Armstrong, Leipheimer, Horner, Sastre, Hushovd, Danielson, Zabriski, Popovch, Vande Velde, Basso, Boonen, Schleck, Cancellara, O’Grady, Voight, Cavendish, Landis, Hamilton, Rodriquez, Pena, and the list goes on.
Also among the teams is Team Type 1 (team number 12). If you don’t know them, Team Type 1 was “founded in 2004 [and] fulfilled the dream of two collegiate cyclists living with Type 1 diabetes, Phil Southerland and Joe Eldridge.”
So join us in wishing good luck to Phil and Team Type 1

January 30th, 2009Dear New England Classic Rider:
Planning is already well underway for the 2009 New England Classic and your American Diabetes Association and the planning committee is committed to making this the best year ever.
The websites are open, you can copy and paste the following link into your web browser to register for the 2009 New England Classic.
http://tour.diabetes.org/site/TR/TourdeCure/TDC005008030?pg=entry&fr_id=5560
I also have some other news to report. Faith Linsky, the long-time staff partner on the New England Classic is no longer with the American Diabetes Association. The American Diabetes Association, like many other organizations both for profit and not-for-profit, had to undergo staffing reductions in order to protect our ability to deliver our mission during these tough economic times. Faith was instrumental in bringing the Classic to where it is today. I know many of you looked forward to seeing her each year in Woburn and communicating with her as you registered and raised your contributions.
Faith’s knowledge is hard to replace but I want you to know we are committed to maintaining the Classic’s reputation as a fun, safe and well-produced ride. That said, I am pleased to announce that Ryan Williams has accepted the position as the new Tour de Cure Manager for the New England Classic. Ryan has worked for the ADA for the past year on the Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes events in Maine and has done a great job recruiting teams and getting participants invested in the Mission. Ryan will be based out of the Portland, Maine office. He can be reached at rwilliams{at}diabetes.org or at (207) 774-7717 x3456. Feel free to contact Ryan with any questions. His first day will be Monday, February 2nd.
In the meantime, please register now! We are excited for another great year and look forward to seeing you there.

Join us at the Rider Roundup!
January 20th, 2009Do you have a hankering to roll out for a long ride on sun-baked asphalt with a flock of fun-loving cyclists?
Unfortunately for New Englanders the ride on the sun-baked asphalt will probably have to wait at least until May. But your best cycling buddies are hoping you’ll join them Feb. 28 at Clark University in Worcester for the American Diabetes Association’s 2nd Annual New England Classic Rider Roundup. Follow this link for directions to Clark where we’ll be meeting in the Grace Conference Room of the Higgins University Center: www.clarku.edu/admissions/visit/directions.cfm
We’ll be hanging out from 1 to 4 p.m. to share a few memories, and laughs, from last year’s ride and to talk about plans for the 2009 New England Classic, July 11-17.
Be sure to bring along any fun photos you may have from last year and more importantly bring along any cyclists you think might want to join us in having a great time on a great ride for a great cause. We’ll answer any questions they have about the route, training or fund-raising. And this year we hope to have someone available to tell us about diabetes research and the great work being done by the American Diabetes Association.
Haven’t registered for this year’s ride yet? Well go to www.newenglandclassic.org
and sign up now to join us for another adventure!
Until then we’re looking forward to seeing you at the roundup.

Welcome to 2009!!!
September 17th, 2008Registration is now open for the 2009 Tour de Cure!
Thank you for being one of the extraordinary riders in the Tour de Cure. Thanks to you we raised over $15 million in 2008 to support the critical efforts of the ADA to fund research, education, advocacy programs. But we have even more to do. The CDC recently announced the number of Americans with diabetes increased from 20.8 million to 23.6 million and another 57 million have pre-diabetes. This growth is astonishing and we need your help–please sign up to ride today!
