This last of the mega-AIDS rides closed registration in March and will kick off their 7-day journey from San Francisco with a record 3000 participants this Sunday.

Kudos to all of the AIDS Lifecycle volunteer cyclists and roadies, expected to bring in $11million dollars to care for thousands of Californians affected by HIV/AIDS.

No doubt, Lifecycle will continue until there's a cure, so let's stop HIV now! Then we can ride down the spectacularly beautiful California coast just for the fun of it.

I'm still heading to New York in August, as co-captain for our team: the ARI Breakthrough Riders, as our beneficiary is the west coast-based AIDS Research Institute at UCSF, even though I was (oh so rudely and painfully ) sidelined from riding recently, so...on behalf of the east coast's Empire State AIDS Ride, I send a heartfelt thank you for joining the road trip to end AIDS and best wishes for a safe and successful journey.
You'll be amazed at the lives you will touch from the saddle of your bicycle!
Ride strong. Angels will give you wings when you need them.
