Jessie Doecke (5/28/08 8:21AM): I finally got my goal! I can't wait to meet up and experience this with you!
Shannon Offerman (5/27/08 3:46PM): Hi Christopher, this is Raygungirl from Ravelry. I read your post and think that what you're doing is awesome, as is the fact that you've already surpassed your goal. I wanted to donate what I could to help - this is such a horrible disease, and we have made much progress, but have so far to go. Good luck!

Junior Goddess in memory of Tony Turner 1968-2000
Thank you so much for riding with Tony's name, Chris. We were not permitted to make a quilt square when he died. This is it. Big huge hug.
Jessie Doecke (5/13/08 12:57PM): Hahaha I love you! I can't wait to take this trip with you!
Haptotrope (ravelry) (5/13/08 12:34PM): Back when I was a telephone psychic in 1997, my very last call was from a man who was HIV positive who wanted me to tell him he was going to live -- this was before the cocktails, and treatments and before the sincere efforts of the medical community to focus on this epidemic. Thank you for your efforts to make sure, that all the men and women with AIDS can continue to live, and continue to love.

Junior Goddess on Ravelry (5/09/08 10:54PM): Make it work! You kinda dropped off the PR page at Ravelry, and I haven't seen you in ages!!
I want you to think of my brother's friend Tony, who used to bring my mom pizza, which she loved dearly. He died eight years ago. I'll be dropping a few bucks in the hat, and seriously, don't worry about entering me in anything. Frickin' Britney's under-pantslessness gets more press than AIDs research and fund-raising, thank you for working to change that.
Big hug!
Milena Popova (5/09/08 4:39PM): Hiya! I came over from Ravelry (elmyra). I think what you're doing is amazing. All the best for the ride and for raising lots of money for a worthy cause!

cakeums from ravelry (5/04/08 6:01PM): I can't wait to see you reach your goal! Thanks for getting the word out to the Ravelers, I think there are many of us who wouldn't have known about Lifecycle otherwise.
SusanOLillian on Ravelry (5/04/08 4:16PM): Don't push the big gears, it'll blow out your knees/hips. (past racer;if i push a big gear now i fall over hahaha; all bike trails these days) Have a bunch of fun, post pics!!! Lost a friend way back in 1980, in NYC; hard to believe the big-science progress made, the lack of a outright cure. Like many, i have to wait for the chimp's cheque, but at least it could not go to a better use. Thank you for doing this. oh, yeah...ride with the wind. posting your rider's page on StumbleUpon...tags are hiv, aids. Susan bookfaerieknits (from ravelry) (5/04/08 4:01PM): Good luck!!

Judy from Ravelry (5/04/08 6:29AM): Bless you for doing this.

Kudos for having the guts to do this ride and the ingenuity to get the attention of us knitters.

Joyce Jones Roberts (5/02/08 10:22AM): I lost someone I loved more than life to this awful disease. Thank you for what you are doing.
I made a donation for the raffle on Ravelry. I would love for you to select yarn for me - in a quantity to make a sweater - so it would be the same yarn and try for at least 1000 yards so it does NOT have to be the fabu cashmere - Good ole Cascade in a colorway you pick would be delicious but if you get enough credits the cashmere would be fun.
MontanaJen (5/02/08 10:13AM): Raveler! Good job!
Erin (5/02/08 9:56AM): Another ravelrer! (KnitsofLove) It's an important cause, I wish I could donate more. Bless you for what you're doing!

MJ (Mudlarque on Ravelry (3/26/08 9:27AM): I really want that sunset color shawl so I donated for 5 more raffle tickets! Ride on!
Annette (3/19/08 10:45AM): Hi Krystofer, I'm Annette, rider 1260 from San Francisco. We haven't met but I wanted to say thank you for participating this year. I ride for my brother, Chris, who passed away from AIDS, so I appreciate all the hard work you are doing as well to help put an end to HIV/AIDS. I can hardly wait until all 2500 of us roll into LA. Ride strong and good luck. Annette

Keep up the hard work. Your cheerleader, Hillary
Jennifer (3/12/08 6:37AM): It's fabulous that you are doing such good work for AIDS/HIV research! Bravo! I think you should organize some sort of Knit-In for AIDS. Wouldn't that be fun---maybe not as exciting as a bike ride in beautiful Cali---but still...
See you soon at Mass Ave--Jennifer
Cece (fiberfish) (3/03/08 1:03PM): Glad I could 'virtually' ride with you! I've done this in the past, and got too much medical stuff going on this year to commit! So happy to have found you on Ravelry!

Jessie (2/22/08 10:18AM): I'm so excited! We're going to rule the open road!
Peter (2/20/08 5:36PM): Hey there Krystofer. Thanks for the kind words about my fundraising. It's been strangely easy for me, perhaps because most of the people I've asked are New Yorkers who've never before been solicited for AIDS/LifeCycle. I have no doubt that you'll prevail...the picture gives me the most optimistic impression of your persuasive capacity.
Best,
P.
