Pictured above is JDRF Denmark’s VIP Cycle Team just before the start of the Sjaelsoe Rundt 50-Kilometer Bike Ride. The event, which took place on June 10, 2012, sends riders through the famed North Zealand region of Denmark. The VIP Cycle Team has raised $25,000 for JDRF so far this year, and some of its members will go on to participate in the JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes in Death Valley, CA, in October.
