Exercise is a vital component for all individuals who seek to manage

professional cycling team, conceived of by diabetic bike racers and
staffed with professional diabetic race athletes (www.teamtype1.org ).
TT1 believes that with appropriate diet, exercise, treatment and
technology, that anyone with diabetes can achieve their dreams.

Experience the intense emotion, strategy, and physical exertion as you

for two to California (www.alaskaair.com ), four nights hotel
accommodation near the actual race (www.StarwoodHotels.com ), rental
car, and the opportunity to meet and interact with the inspirational
founders and athletes of Team Type 1.

But what would this package be without including the finest,
custom-built and assembled, road racing bike possible, to go along
with it? The Guru Photon (www.gurubikes.com ) is the lightest,
stiffest, fully-custom carbon frame available, and was voted the 2010
