Dearest Dan,
my computer crashed last year and I lost tracking you. oops and sorry. your recount of ALC 2009 took me right back to FL AIDS Ride ’96 & ’97 and the ensuing Red Ribbon Rides in ’99 and 2000. I worked for FAR 1 and 2. I rode 3 of the FL rides, volunteered for ALL of them and even volunteered for CA AIDS Ride 7 on Day ZERO in 2000. I’d forgotten how much I rode, ate and slept for all those years. beyond that I’d forgotten how much I lived, learned and loved during those times. am presently working with a wellness condition that has me in the biggest challenge of my life so far. thanks for the inspiration here and congrats on finding the love of your life….YOU ! and sharing it with Rich and the world. blessings, Dan
