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.

Since they were kind enough to schedule this year's ride to coincide with my 40th birthday, it seemed only right to oblige them by showing up. It's true, I haven't ridden regularly for several years. And it's also true that when I did ride my bike everywhere I needed to go, I had no problem deciding that I didn't need to go to particular places that were located at the tops of hills. So this may be a challenge for me. Check out my blog for musings about lifecycle related stuff, or if you just want to check out my training you can look at my We Endure!

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.

Betsy (5/02/08 7:47AM): Lala ~ When you are tired and feel like not pedeling another bit, remember all the people YOU are helping. You have touched so many more lives then you will ever meet. The writer and the puppahs and kittahs will pamper you when you are done! Best of luck! You are a supastar!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pam (5/01/08 8:54PM): May the wind always be at your back, may your legs be strong and sure, and may your heart... your heart. It's large enough not only to power your body as you ride, but it's large enough to encompass all those who ride, all those who suffer, and all those who unfortunately may suffer.

I live only 20 minutes from you and hope to meet you and your lady one day. You're a remarkable woman and a tribute to what can be done when one's mind is put to it.

Sarah L. (5/01/08 6:16PM): What an amazing feat! Good luck and have fun!

Ride strong and good luck. Annette
