It’s not too late to sign up to cycle in NorthBay Healthcare’s first-ever Ride to Defeat Diabetes (R2D2) which rolls out of the NorthBay VacaValley Hospital parking lot on Sunday, Oct. 14.

The event aims to raise funds for the NorthBay Center for Diabetes & Endocrinology, and at the same time raise awareness in the community about the severity of the diabetes crisis in Solano County.

There are three separate rides, a 10-mile jaunt along Vacaville bike paths, just perfect for families and children, and a 25-mile and 60-mile ride for more serious cyclists.

Visit www.NorthBay.org/R2D2 for registration and donation information, or to sign up.
