Funds raised by Kettering Health’s team will be used to provide screening and diagnostic mammograms as well as transportation and follow-up care for underinsured patients.

Get ready to ride
To help people get ready, Tour de Gem is holding training rides each week leading up to the event. Riders will need to sign a waiver, and helmets are mandatory. Times noted are when riders will leave the meeting area, so it’s recommended to arrive a few minutes early:
- Tuesday: Meet at 6 p.m. at RiverScape for a 10-20 mile ride along the bike path.
- Thursday: Meet at 6 p.m. at Xenia bike station (150 S. Miami Ave.) for a 10-20 mile ride on a bike path.
- Saturday: Meet at 8 a.m. at 1129 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd. for a 15-30 mile ride along the Great Miami River. Note: This ride is for more experienced cyclists.
