alcvd5 AIDS LifeCycle 7, 2008

Shameless plug here, don’t read on if you’re not interested…

This year, from 1 to 7 June, I’m participating in the AIDS LifeCycle charity fundraiser. This is a fundraiser as any other, gathering monetary pledges towards a cause, and then participating in some bigtime event. The event? A 7-day, 545-mile bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

I have a little HOMEPAGE at the LifeCycle site, where folks can read my blog, donate if they choose, or just leave a message of support.

I’ve quit smoking AGAIN, and started building up my road bike. I’ll be training on my fixed-gear for the next month, and then heading off on some major road bike rides, in order to build my stamina for 7 80-plus-mile days in a row. I’ve done a 60-mile day followed by a 40-mile day, but that’s the extent of my long-distance riding, so I REALLY need the training.

Anyway, please forward my HOMEPAGE to anyone you want, and wish me luck. I’m gonna need it!
