Burlington, Vt, one of the premier cycling destinations in the United States, offers “classic New England” cycling on some of the most scenic roads in Vermont. The JDRF new course follows more than 100 miles through historic villages featuring covered bridges and flowing rivers. Take in spectacular views while cycling along a relatively flat course through the pristine Champlain Valley.

Located on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain between the Adirondack and Green Mountains, Burlington is one of America’s most beautiful cities. Burlington has long been known as Vermont’s Queen City. It’s the home of the University of Vermont, Champlain College, Community College of Vermont and Burlington College and attracts a variety of musical, theater and other cultural events.

The core of this vibrant city’s downtown is the Church Street Marketplace. Its cross-streets are the meeting place for Burlington, where grand architecture of the past blends with the artistic and commercial vibrancy of the present. With 40 specialty shops and 15 national retailers, it is any shopper’s dream! Burlington’s nearby waterfront is home to parks, a walking/bike path, fine restaurants, ferry crossings and cruise boats.

On October 17, 2009 Mikey Teutul from the TLC’s hit reality series American Chopper headed to Death Valley, CA to participate in the JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes.

His participation in the Ride was filmed on location and will be featured in the February 4th episode of TLC’s “American Chopper”.

“I am thrilled to be a part of this great way to raise awareness and funds for type 1 diabetes research,” said Mikey Teutel, the youngest of the Teutel family whose family

business, Orange County Choppers, is the basis for the show. Teutel, who had a friend with type 1 diabetes, was hoping to accomplish riding 36 miles.

“Although Mikey hoped to ride 36 miles in Death Valley, I believe he exceeded his ultimate goal…raising awareness for type 1 diabetes research,” said
