David A. (5/03/08 6:20PM): Bravo, my friend! Your dedications/inspirations on your blog are simultaneously heart-warming and heart-breaking. I've been checking out some of the ALC blogs of late, and reading some really beautifully written and awe-inspiring stories of why people have chosen to ride. I'd be remiss if I didn't throw a shout-out your way for having one of the best - truly remarkable. And dude, the fundraising - kudos! Countless lives are, and will be, impacted, both directly and indirectly, by your involvement with ALC - thank you for riding. It's only fitting that you'll be riding into the City of Angels...

Vince (3/02/08 11:47AM): Good luck, David. I've done it twice - and yes, you will definitely get a hard butt (not mention great legs :-). But the true rewards are the intangible (yet very real) ones - making a difference in the fight against AIDS, meeting incredible people on the journey, personal challenges, etc. - everything you've pointed out in your blog. Go David, Go David, Go David ...
