Tour de T1D – 2025
Thank you for visiting the Tour de T1D website.
After careful thought and consideration, we are sorry to announce the 2025 edition of this annual charity cycling event to raise funds and awareness for Type 1 Diabetes will be postponed until September 2026.
A recent loss in our family will prevent us from devoting our time and efforts to organize this great event.
We are sorry to take away from the momentum we are gaining, but be sure to visit the site again next winter for details on the 2026 Tour de T1D.
We thank you for understanding. Keep riding on!
Richard, Darlene, Lukas and Gabrielle

Who are we?
In 2016, Barrie physicians Drs Darlene Newnham and Richard Goudie's son Lukas was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) at the age of 14.
In 2018, Lukas's parents combined their passion for cycling with their desire to raise awareness and funds to improve the lives of youth with T1D. Since no large scale outdoor cycling event existed in Canada, they created the Tour de T1D. To date, their ride has seen over 600 riders and raised over $158,000.00. Their dream is to see this ride become a recognized annual T1D event drawing riders from all over Canada.
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
T1D is an autoimmune disease for which no cure exists.
It is still considered a lifelong condition managed with insulin via repeated daily injections or an insulin pump providing continuous delivery.
