On this race Dustin is riding for Team Type 1, a team of cyclists who, in addition to negotiating the rigors typically encountered in competitive cycling, are further distinguished by their overcoming the special considerations presented by diabetes.

Team Type 1′s goal is to complete this year’s race in 5 days and 2 hours.

We wish Dustin, his teammates, and all of the other participants and supporters a safe and successful event!
