Been following your AMAZING efforts in getting people to support you in another Ride, helping those who suffer, raising awareness, and hopefully bringing about an end to this modern day plague.

Looking forward to seeing you on the road this year and catching up with you... Ride safely HERO! ALL THE BEST! Scott Frentrop (6123)

Annette (3/21/08 7:24PM): Hi Bob, 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
Barney (3/21/08 6:32PM): Hi Bobby, Tyler let me know you were on your way to LA. Do you know the way to LA? I did this twice and had a blast!!! Be safe and have a great time. I now know 7 people doing it this year :) XO
Sandra Lucas (3/20/08 12:34PM): Bob, I'm so impressed; may I admire you? Albert Einstein told us that "There are two ways to live your life - one as if nothing is a miracle and one as if everything is." I believe you belong in the latter category. Best of luck and have fun! p.s. hug Shana for me, I miss her terribly. Cheers, Sandra
Jonathan (3/18/08 6:48PM): Best of luck... this is a fantastic event. Justin did it twice, CAR3 and then we both did CAR4 back in 1997. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, so I'm very impressed you're doing it all over again. We appreciate your efforts and support of HIV/AIDS here in our home city. Jonathan & Justin.
Jeff (3/18/08 3:03PM): So admire your dedication and commitment to both the cause of eliminating this awful disease and to what the ride means to you personally at an emotional and physical level. Sending you much affection. Best wishes for your fundraising effort and a successful ride!
Cyndie Wilson (3/18/08 10:15AM): Hi Bobby, can we meet you at the end of the trail again this year. I'm putting your poster up in the teacher's room to help with donations- to get them to be aware of and help with your cause- and to let people know that we can all help others, that we're all connected. Love you, Aunt Cyndie
Dawn Carter "DC" (3/16/08 12:15PM): Congrats on doing this again, I wish I had the steam to do the ride. Maybe this year I will see you at the finish line with a great drink in hand.
Pamela Gerla (3/16/08 5:33AM): You are an inspiration to us all! We will do our best to support your/the cause and send your message to friends around the world. We'll be with you in spirit and look forward to hearing about what will certainly be an amazing experience. Much love to you, Pam & Rene
Shana Sundstrom (3/14/08 8:22PM): Hey Brother! I'm so proud of you! 6 years is a great accomplishment and such a selfless act for a much needed cause....if only I could do one year! Maybe next year if I get a bike :) I remember your first year when I was supposed to see you off (darn Pollyesthers and their Long Island Ice Teas!)...would love to see you off this year, let me know when it is! I love you so much and hope...no,I KNOW...you will reach your goal. See you soon in Morro Bay! -Banana
Billy Bedell (3/14/08 10:00AM): Dear Bob, I'm always so proud of you and have so much admiration for you as you train and prepare for these rides. I know you always tell of such an amazing experience along these journeys and I hope this sixth ride will be the best of all.

Randi-jean Brown (3/14/08 9:02AM): Your good friend Tyler Radtke sent your link to all of us with some of the most amazing words about you. You go....
Stephen Botte (3/14/08 5:47AM): GOOD LUCK. I made a donation on behalf of my family and in particular my infant son, Francesco. He is only 11 months now, but needs to know how important it is to give. And he need to know about HIV as early in his life as possible.
Thank you for doing this.
Stephen
Tyler Radtke (3/14/08 4:25AM): I'm always in awe of you guys doing this ride, your taking the time to train, raise a min of $2,500, using a week of your vacation time to do the ride, and then pedaling pedaling pedaling for a week. It's quite honorable! The least I can do, is ask some of my friends to consider making a donation--in support of your efforts--to the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Ride on brother!
Joel (3/13/08 8:58PM): Good luck and enjoy your training Bob, and thanks Joel
KGS (3/13/08 6:32PM): Quite proud of the biking Bobarino! Big hug and good luck.
Jeff Teich (3/13/08 3:01PM): Hi Bob - Wow, what an inspiring message, as well as an inspiring 6th time! Congratulations and thanks for doing this. And I share your commitment to a very worthwhile goal. Sorry we won't be able to make your party and I wish I could donate more, but cash is tight this year. Please know that my smaller donation in no way reflects how much I honor and support you. I hope all is well and we get to see you in LA or SF soon! Best, Jeff
