Dave Marez #5407 (5/25/08 11:11PM): Hiya Jose. It wasn't that long ago that I met you riding in Griffith Parks bike path on a Sunday afternoon. I yelled out to you when I seen the Caleb shirt (that you were wearing) "are you doing the ALC ride this year?" and you said "yes." From then on we became friends. I was told that this would happen when you see others on the road. I'm so glad to have met you, share our life stories and laughter. I look forward to getting to know you on the road and during our 7-day journey. Welcome to Team UTAC. Its a pleasure to be team members. You're an inspiration to so many and its important that you know that. Congratulations on your sobriety and all the recent changes you made in your life. Tear down those obstacles homeboy and leap over those hurdles! The sky's the limit man. Take care.
Jen-Team Slacker-Captain (5/25/08 4:37PM): Jose, my fellow "slacker"...which really means we are the cool kids! ;) I'm so honored to ride with you and inspired by you. Thank you for being YOU! I look forward to spending more time with you on the big ride and beyond! xoxo Jen Moore

Neill Keller (5/23/08 5:10PM): Hi Jose, I think we might have met on a training ride but I'm not sure. I just want you to know that I read your story, and I could relate to the fear of "coming out" very much. This is my first AidsLifeCycle ride, and I'm having the time of my life. We are all in this together, and will have the time of our lives! My best wishes to you!

Lalo (5/16/08 11:46AM): Q-vo Jose,
I'm very proud of you bro. I ran the L.A. marathon a few years ago so I know how difficult it can be to go from couch potato to athlete. Unfortunately I am back to couch potato but that's another story. Thanks for the individual message. I wish I could be of more help to you but I just can't. Stay strong carnal.
Tu amigo, Lalo
Jason (5/16/08 9:42AM): DRINK WATER!!!

Peter Carlson (5/14/08 4:01PM): Hey there, hunky! You've been an inspiration to me on the training rides, if for no other reason than the fact that Eric and I both love seeing your smiling face.

Nathan Menard (5/13/08 2:42PM): Thank you for sharing your story on the HIV+ page... I am glad that your experience is a POSITIVE one.
Joshua Schare #5055 (5/13/08 2:19PM): It was great to see you out in Palos Verdes on the training ride. Thanks for your message of support. I'm so glad you're sticking with your training despite the hurdles (dehydration...ugh!). I can't wait to see you out on the ride. You'll meet your fund-raising goal VERY soon!!!!!
Shawnet (5/02/08 3:25PM): Wow Jose, I just read your blog about your latest ride. I'm so glad you are ok. You must have been scared to death. It's awesome that you went 61 miles. I have trouble hydrating because I'm still not comfortable reaching for my bottle while I'm pedaling.I usually wait until I stop which isn't a good idea. I was thinking about getting a camelback but We'll see. Anyway, we have 29 days left !!! We've come a long way. We're going to tear up the road in June !!! Best of all, we are making a difference.
see you soon, Shanwet :)
Michael Casas (5/01/08 10:53AM): Hello Jose,just thought i would visit your homepage and check out how well your doing on your fundraising. I want to wish you the best and hope to be riding with you on june 1st to L.A. Oooh and by the way Thanks for the donation when I was peddaling on Castro street that day.
Edward Moreno (4/24/08 8:31PM): I know I didn't give as much as anyone else, but this is what I can give because I believe in you! And Im glad you always have :)
Veronica (4/22/08 2:19PM): Hey Jose, I came across some of your posts and just wanted to let you know that you are such an inspiration to all. Your courage to feel comfortable with who you are is so admirable and hope to meet you sooner than later =)
Shawnet (4/07/08 3:12PM): Jose,
You rock !!! I am so glad to be on this ride with you. I can't believe that we are almost there. Where did the time go ? You have the best blogs. I really get inspired reading them.
See you on the road,
