Mission Moment
American Diabetes Association Camps for Kids with Diabetes
When you support the American Diabetes Association you not only raise funds for diabetes research, but you also help fund our programs such as Camps for Kids with diabetes. Each summer the American Diabetes Association welcomes more than 10,000 kids nationwide into our day and weekly camps. Check out what campers have to say about going to an ADA camp; they want to extend their thanks to you!
"The best thing about camp was that I realized that there are a lot of people just like me."
"I made a lot of friends and I found out if you take your insulin and watch your carbs more that my blood sugars are normal."
"I had a great time at diabetes Camp. There were so many things to do and my numbers were great! I made a lot of friends and we stick together like peas in a pod!"
"I had so much fun. I can't wait to go back next year!"

Hydration
You’ve heard it before, riders need to drink, drink, and drink!
Fluids are crucial to your performance and sense of well-being, but it is amazing how few cyclists heed this advice. You might forget to drink because of the excitement of the ride and become dehydrated which is a common problem among cyclists, especially in warm weather. To prevent this you must always drink plenty of fluids while you ride and also prepare in advance. Check out even more of our hydration secrets.
Stretching
Getting your muscles ready to ride!
Stretching is extremely important in keeping your muscles flexible and injury free, but there are a lot of things people do wrong when stretching. We’ve got some helpful hints for you such as warming up first, stretching equally on both sides your body and much more!
Sample Training Plan
We can help you go the distance to Stop Diabetes!
If you are looking to ride 30, 60 or 100 miles we have a great daily training schedule for you! These sample training programs are designed for someone who can already cycle 10 miles at a 10 mph pace without difficulty. It is only a guideline. If you cannot currently cycle 10 miles then start with 3 miles, build up over the next 2 weeks to a 10-mile ride, and then start the program.
