Hey there! Welcome to my staff page, and welcome to AIDS/LifeCycle 11!

Congratulations and thank you for registering for this year’s ride, for accepting the challenge and for committing yourself to fighting HIV/AIDS! Whether you’re a newbie with a lot of excitement and jitters for your first ALC experience, or you’re a veteran who knows what a blast it is to be a part of this community, you are beginning an amazing adventure, and this year’s AIDS/LifeCycle is going to be a journey you will never forget!

I am really looking forward to sharing this special experience with you!

I know you are all ready to get rolling, to conquer all those hills and get to LA! This is such an exciting time, and I am so stoked to be your personal cheerleader through all your training and fundraising, to give you a word or a hug of encouragement when you need it, and to be there for you in anything you might need to help make this ride the incredible experience that it is! If you have any questions or need help with anything in this, or if you just want to send me a hello with a fun story you have from a ride, please shout it all out! I am here for you, and I would love to help you and hear about how your ALC adventure is going!

Don’t forget, too, to check out the Calendar for training rides, cool social events, workshops, and more that you can come out and be a part of!

Thank you thank you thank you in advance for all your hard work- you are all heroes! You are doing an amazing and powerful thing in the fight against HIV/AIDS! You’re going to have so much fun, and you’re going to make unforgettable memories and friendships that will last a lifetime! I am looking forward to every memory we will make, every laugh, hug and pedal stroke we will share together in this awesome adventure!

Can’t wait to see you on the road!

Steffi

About Me

This is my eighth event and I’ve had the awesome opportunity to be a part of ALC since I was just “barely legal” at 18! In fact, I had to get a permission slip signed before I could go on training rides because I was underage! AIDS/LifeCycle came to me at just the right time of my life. The memories I have made, and the community and love are what makes me come back year after year. I know you will find this love here as well! Being a part of AIDS/LifeCycle has been one of the most meaningful and unforgettable adventures I have ever had! I can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself! I’m looking forward to riding alongside you on those hills, hearing your stories from the road, and helping you get to LA this year!
