Thank You for Helping Me Earn My Ticket to Ride
In October, I committed to riding the 2023 AIDS LifeCycle ride. In addition to getting ready physically and mentally to endure the 545 miles from SF to LA, I also had to fundraise a minimum of $3500. At the time, it looked like an immense amount of money.
Fast forward to February. I just earned my ticket to ride. As I write this, my fundraising total stands at $3898.40.
I am humbled, amazed, and especially thankful for all the contributions, small and big, from the many donors. These funds are going to a great cause.
Now that I earned my ticket to ride, I will also hold up my side of the bargain, and make it from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I am training hard. Today took us into the Stevens Creek Canyon and over Mount Eden: 36 miles and about 1900 ft of climbing. Each weekend, our team lead is increasing the mileage by 5-10 miles. We’ll end up just under 100 miles, before we head out to ride around the beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Thank you and pedal on!
