Today’s gratuitous video: Castro Boys Go Glee
A genius way to cut through all the AIDS Lifecycle fundraisers. Although I’m not riding this year (I wish I were), this video is fun. And, I do plan to attend the fundraiser. My friend EJ is in the second row (2nd from left)…
World AIDS Day and 1984: I Will Make a Linkage…
In the spring of 1984, my high school friends and I decided to go to Ft. Lauderdale, FL for Spring Break. We booked our reservations at the Jolly Roger Hotel. What did we know? We were 17 for goodness sakes. Well, I’m not going to try to re-tell a story that I told so well [...]
Today’s gratuitous video: DanNation Does 545 Miles
This is some video and photos from last week’s AIDS ride. I hope it gives you a feel of my experience.
Home from AIDS Lifecycle
We made it home from AIDS Lifecycle yesterday – the 545 miles to Los Angeles took 7 days and the flight home on the same route took one hour and ten minutes. It was an amazing week. I will post photos and a recap of the ride later. It ranks as one of the most [...]
AIDS Ride: Day 0
We headed out to the Cow Palace today to check in for AIDS/Lifecycle, drop off our bikes, watch the safety video and otherwise complete forms. A room full of 2,200 bikes is surely a sight to behold. Now, I’m going to take a bath, shave my legs and go to bed. See you all via [...]
Buzz cut for AIDS/Lifecycle Ride
I’ve still got all my natural color and hair at 43. Sometimes I forget the little but important things in life!
Chad Allen’s Undies Up For Auction for AIDS/Lifecycle
Chad is joining us for AIDS/LifeCycle this year, and he is auctioning off his “unworn” underpants to raise funds. Rich did a LifeCycle fundraiser on Sunday and we beat Chad to the punch – our friend Chip modeled a jock strap that we auctioned off – and they were very “worn.”
60 Miles…9 Weeks To Go…
…until the 2009 AIDS/Lifecyle 545-mile from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Rich and I broke away from our regular organized group rides and did our own thing yesterday. It was exactly the right thing to do after having not trained for two weeks. We started in Sausilito, headed through Mill Valley over the hill (a [...]
First training ride for AIDS Life Cycle
Rich, Rinnie and I embarked on our kick-off training ride yesterday – 23 miles RT from San Francisco to Mill Valley. A beautiful and gorgeous day met us, and despite the tourists “wobble riding” on the Golden Gate Bridge, we had no mishaps or brushes with death (rare for me on my road bike). After [...]
