We've been thinking of you the whole time and reading your blog entries each day. Loved the dress!! ;) I'm envious of the fun and excitement and emotion you've experienced through this event. Can't wait to give you a big hug next time we see you again. Soon I hope!

Mike S (6/05/08 11:34AM): Hey buddy boy...just wanted to tell you again that I love that you are, in your words ever-connected, because I dig your blog. Im like a kid and get all excited when I log on to see your new entries. Next best thing to being there! Hope your day was as fun as the others...seems that you have enjoyed each of them. Im taking a break from all of the meetings and looking at some of the pics on the web site. Man where have I been over the last several years??? I should have kicked my ass in gear, gotten a bike long before now...as you say there's always next year. The thought of doing the ride makes me nervous but in an exciting, "I can do it" way. Like I said before I admire what you are doing...you really are a great guy for doing it! Have a great evening and good rest and a good ride tomorrow to Ventura (you'll be home). Im getting excited to see the event (albeit from a spectator standpoint) and show my support in the way that I can. Take care handsome!!!
Luc & Doug (6/04/08 9:19PM): Hey buddy! How's it going? I'm sure you're doing great! Keep going! :) We're thinking of you! Big hugs and sloppy wet kisses bro! MWAH! Luc & D-Doug xoxo
Mike S. (6/04/08 5:59AM): Hey bud...half way mark is yours!!! Hope you had another great day and that you were physically fit for the day. Hoping that you also had as much fun as I know youve been having along the ride. I envy you and the experience that you are getting from this even...next year for me ok??? Hate to be missing out on all of the fun and opportunity to meet new friends that you are having. I am proud you as you know...you are a great guy and Im happy that your doing this great event.

I'm sure you're having lots of fun.
I wish you all the best and I look forward to catching up with you and filling you in with what's been going on in my life when you get back home. (I'll give you my new address then too)
Your friend, Carlos

Mike S. (6/03/08 10:02AM): Hey bud...I wanted to tell you that this morning I gave a short diversity topic (its a big deal in Chevron) before we started our meeting so I mentioned the Aids Lifecycle and that you are riding in it. My Team wishes you luck...it was good to get the positive feedback about what you are doing from them. So even from here in Houston people are supporting your efforts...good job bud!!!
Jean-Guy & Paul (6/03/08 9:47AM): Chris, we're so proud of you... keep on peddling... you'd better, because I swear, I saw Ms. Gulch ridding up behind you saying something about getting you and your little dog too...

Grace Fava (5/22/08 10:16AM): Christopher, I come to write this on your birthday. This support ride you are making "will" make a difference, one dollar, one mile at a time for someone out there in need.Since you were very young, you have always tried your best and hardest and exceeded. This bike ride, I'm sure, will be no different. I can't be there with you,(good thing, because you know me with the tears), but I will be there with you in spirit, with my support and with my motherly love. I will pray that you stay safe and finish.I am proud that you are my son. As Dad said-Keep up the good work! You're the best! And remember that each turn of your bike pedal on "your hard road", will help someone on "their harder road" to wellness. I love you~Mom
Luc & Doug (5/21/08 7:20PM): You're not on the road yet as I write this, but this is just one to get you started! Happy riding bro! xoxo
Luc & Doug (5/21/08 2:47PM): Best of luck bro! We'll be thinking of you and sending good vibes! :) xo

You have so much energy! Looks like a good time.

Mykul (2/25/08 8:22AM): You are doing a great thing paying it forward Chris. All the friends that I know of whom have also done the bike ride have said it was well worth the sore butt. You don't need me to inspire you, you do well enough on your own.
Gabe (2/06/08 3:41PM): In knowing you for the many years that we've known one another, there is no doubt in my mind as to why you became involved with such a wonderful cause/ event/ and organization. It's because you have always been mindful and sensitive of other's situations, especially of those in need. I am proud that you have nurtured that aspect in your life and that you have become a strong person, both mentally and physically. Continued success with training, have a blast on your long rides, and keep setting the example for our community. You will do it little bro!
Rusty (1/30/08 10:22AM): Chris, unlike so many people (like me) you are making the personal commitment to help those who need it most. I admire you for your compassion and dedication to having a real impact on the lives of others. Good luck and godspeed on your journey!
