back in october, i signed up for the ALC7 ride. that means on june 1-7, i will be road biking 545 miles from san francisco to los angeles. i've never done a charity ride OR a super duper long distance ride before, so i'm a tad scared. the longest mtn ride i've done is about 30 miles (thanksgiving), my longest road ride is about 44 miles (training ride with shifting gears). it'll test my endurance, and hopefully give a supportive nudge of awareness, knowledge, and support to the 60,000+ people living with AIDS in california, male and female, young and old, straight AND gay. there are an overwhelming 33.3 million people living with AIDS worldwide, so every little bit helps. the public isn't in a panic about AIDS anymore, but it's still out there.

be safe and be compassionate.

the ALC7 ride will entail riding between 40 and 80 miles every day for a WEEK! i have a ways to go training-wise, as well as fundraising-wise. yep, in addition to biking for a week straight, i need to raise $2500 to legitimately call myself a part of ALC7. evil magnanimous wheel-licious helper bunnies. so click one of the links below and throw me that rumpled dollar that went through the wash a few times and barely looks like currency anymore. i'll be good to it. all the crumply dolla dolla bills say so. wish me luxxx...
