I was hoping I could find a few people, perhaps a small group, interested in twice a week rides on the Minuteman Railway in Bedford during the summer.
I am doing this in response to my own experiences of cycling. I used to cycle 20 to 30 miles a day to and from work even after I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I would cycle alone, and although I occasionally had low blood sugar episodes, I didn't let it phase me- I would eat something sweet and bounce back up.
I understand that not all diabetics are comfortable riding solo- myself included, so I thought, why not start a small community of riders that can cycle together?
I plan on the rides being recreational and for all ages- most importantly, the rides will be a great way to exercise and meet other diabetics.
If you have experience with group rides such as this, I'd love to hear from you! I don't know how much organizing and preparation I will need, but looking for as much feedback as possible.
It would also be great to hear from people interested in joining!
