Back on August 24th, a motorhome of dedicated individuals started off on the epic journey across Canada on a mission to raise money and awareness for juvenile diabetes. This is the Accu-Chek Cyclebetes Tour. Starting off in Halifax Nova Scotia and heading west the team is taking turns riding a Norco tandem bike across the country. The team is sharing the journey with those that have been affected by this terrible disease along the way.

After the bike touched the Atlantic Ocean it headed east towards the Pacific. With countless hours of preparation behind and countless hours of riding ahead the team was off.

The Cyclebetes team is now in Sudbury Ontario and making their way back home. You can follow their journey though by tracking their GPS Progress, watching their Facebook page, following them on Twitter, or reading their blog.

This is an incredible journey for a wonderful cause. Congratulations on the journey so far and good luck on the road ahead!

Have you heard about the Cyclebetes – The biggest bike relay in the world?

Cyclebetes is a series of three different tours across Canada, Australia and the US. Norco is the official bike sponsor for Cyclebetes Canada and will have a team together for a spin-a-thon on April 3-4 in North Vancouver.

What is a spin-a-thon you may ask… Well, teams of 1-12 people hop on a bike and ride in relay for a duration of 24hrs. I am currently building our team and will be out in full force for the event.
