Hallo everyone!
I've got an important news. A lot of you have appreciated the idea of the Championship, but, due to the limited time, only a few would are able to organize the travel for April. So, unfortunately, we decided to postpone the World Championship of Diabetic Cyclist. It wouldn't be the 15th of April, that will be the 2nd Italian Championship. Of course, if you want, you can also participate as a normal cycling race, an occasion to know a lot of other Italian cyclists with diabetes.
But, take attention: this doesn't means that the WADAB is dead. On the contrary, this is the occasion to have a better organization of the competition. So, we are again waiting for national coordinators for the WADAB, that will have more time to collect cyclists and spread the news. This is important!
The World Championship for diabetics, will be probably in the same period of the next UCI World Championship on road, so around October 2008!!! We think that to the Championship will participate one team for each country, composed of a maximum of 10 cyclist each.
I think that this is a wonderful news: you have more time for the organization of the voyage, but, especially, for the training! Remember that this will be a competitive race!
I'll tell you more news as soon as possible. I also wait for more contacts for the details and information, for new adhesions, and for new National Coordinators candidatures.
Best wishes
Simone Donadello

The WADAB is going to born! (1st email - 02/11/2006)
I publish here the first email of the WADAB sent on 02/11/2006
Hallo. I'm Simone Donadello. I'm 19 years old, form Italy, and I study physics at the university of Trento. I've been having diabetes for 2 years. I spend a lot of time in sport, triathlon, but especially cycling.
I was in the group of diabetics that in 2005 cycled for 310km in a day, and I was also in the group that in September 2006 arrived in Holland from Italy by bike, 1200km in 7 days.
Here in Italy, we've already created a Italian association of diabetic cyclists, the C&D (something like "Bike and Diabetes"). Also we organize some holidays about diabetes and bike, and the Italian Championship of Cyclists with Diabetes, together with a lot of other activities. Nowadays C&D have about 120 associated.
Now, dott. Pierpaolo De Feo and dott. Gerardo Corigliano (of ANIAD), together with some other people, talked me about a project: create an international association of cyclists with diabetes: the WADAB, so WORLD ASSOCIATION DIABETES AND BIKE.
We need somebody that wants to collaborate with this project form abroad: we already know someone, but we should have some ideas, and especially someone that can organize this project in his country. It shouldn't be hard to find some cyclist with diabetes. Perhaps a national association already exists in some country, or perhaps the local diabetics associations can publicize the thing.
It would be very beautiful, if everything would be ready for Spring 2007, so that WADAB could organize the first World Championship of cyclists with diabetes. The occasion is already ready, with a big race on road here in Italy. Some cyclist of all the world would come racing. For the next years, we can organize the race everywhere. We think that the bike is one of the best sport for diabetes, and the the "diabetic on bike" is a beautiful message to tell everyone for the diabetes's cause. The first World Championship would catch a lot of attention of media, also international TVs.
This, diabetesandbike@gmail.com is the email of the WADAB, that I'll read it as coordinator. Then I'll turn the email as needed.
So, if someone want to join or to help the association, please, write on this email. And please, forward this email to everyone that can be interested.
I hope to hear a lot of you.
Thank you.
Goodbye
