I'm Riding to End AIDS

From June 1-7, 2008, I'm bicycling in AIDS/LifeCycle. It's a 7-day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to make a world of difference in the lives of people living with HIV and AIDS.

Help me support the San Francisco AIDS Foundation by giving what you can. We'll keep riding until AIDS and HIV are a thing of the past.

Lyle (6/02/08 10:19AM): The first day wasn't so bad, was it? The second day, well, what's 105 miles? Just relax. Peddling and hydrating is your only responsibility this week. Peeing too. And eating. Eat some of those great chocolate chip cookies for me. Most of all, thank you for riding and keeping the spirit of this event alive and making such a personal commitment.

Erica (6/02/08 9:26AM): Hi! I hope you're having a great time! Keep your chin up babe! Thinking of you.

Jason Gates (5/31/08 12:10PM): Pedal to the metal, Lady!!!

I suggest you bring a mini-bar with you. When the going gets rough, mix up a cosmo and take in the scenery!!

xoxo Jason

Jason Gates (5/02/08 4:18PM): Congrats Ray. I'm rootin' for ya!! Will there be a youtube broadcast? :P

K, Q, Skooter and Bo (5/02/08 1:42PM): Great work Ray! Best wishes for strong tailwinds all the way to LA. Advice from the previous rides - follow someone wearing "nice spandex" when climbing those hills...it makes it so much more enjoyable! Nothing like some eye candy when those quads are burning!

Hugs, k n q

tracey (5/01/08 1:14PM): eat before you are hungry, drink before you are thirsty and pee before you pee your shorts.
