Aids Ride June 1 to June 7

[Trek420]

If you go to the ALC website, click on "experience the ride" you'll see the pictures of Day 3. Now, I can't import the individual picture because the photographers wisely programed it so you can't import them but ..... on the slide show there's a picture of our very own Carolp & Mr. Carolp on their lean green Trek tandem climbing machine. Looks to me like the crest of a little hill we call Quadbuster.

Both smiling, laughing and looking great on top of the hardest hill on the 3rd day of a tough ride.

Who says tandems can't climb, and climb well!

Day 3 DONE.

About now TE'ers melissam, resumer, carolp, sarahoc, ACG, sadiethompson should be done with day 7 of the AIDS ride. Closing ceremonies are often around 3 so they are probably in LA right now waiting for that to begin.

Congratulations, we want the ride report and pictures.

Trek, thank you for all the updates!

Well, not as together as we could have been. On ALC 4 I tented with a TE'er, the amazing BG. And best of all Spazzdog acted as intrepid reporter posting a daily updates from us.

We'll get it together next time. And maybe MM_QFC can post from her ride.

I'm back!! Rolled into San Jose yesterday and my bike (whose name I learned at Day 0) is taking a well-earned rest in his cozy space in the garage.

The Ride was, in a word, AMAZING! I'd love to tell you all about it, but I'm currently buried under a mass of unread emails and a work deadline rapidly approaching.

I'll try to post a ride report when I reach a stopping point here.
