Team Amici Veloci (and other TE'ers) do ALC 6

[MM_QFC!]

Best wishes to Trek and all ALC riders and volunteers for a super fun and super safe ride...
I ride for the same reason - so that we can live in an AIDS-free world and just ride for the pure joy of it sometime soon - so this sister-rider salutes each and every one of you, knowing that it'll get hard, you'll hurt, get very hot, sore and hungry for anything other than road-food...but you'll all dig deep and pedal on...having the support of so many angels on every hill - for every mile...ride strong and enjoy every part of the journey!

Hey Trek! I'm rider 1132, have a black/orange Giant OCR. I'd love to meet you!
This is year 2 for me.

I'm not super fast either, just very, very determined.

Hey there!! Let's try to meet day 0. We can get a group shot at tent assignment. I'm short, dark hair, lavender Mondonico road bike. I may have a potted flowering plant on my helmet On day 1 UK and I will be in AV gear.

PM me for my cell phone number.

Arright, riders! You gals really rock! I've been watching UK prepare for this, getting stronger and faster by the week. I am so impressed! Now she's trying to talk her Dad and me into doing it with her in '09 Well, we'll see what I can work myself up to this summer when I get home to my repaired bike. Then we'll see how much form I can maintain by spinning a couple times a week through the winter, and what I can work up to again next summer, and theeeeeen I can make a dee-cide. The pledge drive should be a cinch for me that year, tho. I'd just let folks know that pledges are what I want for my 60th birthday (double eek! ) that summer.

Meanwhile, come on over and see me at the reg. desk after 1230 tomorrow. Before then I may be running to and fro as a go-fer, once UK and I have seen the safety video at 830. Trek knows what we all look like, so she can get us together for the group photo op before the DH picks med up at the end of Day 0 and we leave you rider gals to it. (BTW Trek, Mr. Duck can caravan with you back to your place and give you a ride back when you've left your car there, and do we wanna do dinner together somewhere before he and I drive back up to Sonoma?)

Mr. Duck and I and the mutual Mom (Trek's and mine) will be driving down to LA to watch all you riders ride in. We hope to find a couple vantage points where our paths will cross along the way and we can cheer you on. Prob'ly once as you head back to the coast after King City? Maybe near Pismo Beach and again at Ventura? We'll see what we can manage to coordinate, while keeping our car out of the way of your route.
