A Sneak Preview (continued)- Part III.
Several individuals within the AIDS LifeCycle Community were asked to reflect on and comment about the 575 mile, 7 day journey from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Here's what they had to say:

Starting with which AIDS Ride, how many times have you participated?

- California AIDS Ride #7 (I think?). And this will be my 5th ride.

As a 5th Yr. Veteran, if you had one thing to say to "first time participants," what would it be?

- It's impossible to fail! This will be one of those life changing experiences that you WILL remember for a life time! You are stronger thenyou think.

Also, which day of the seven day event do you find the most challenging - and why?

- Day 4. Here's why...The first day is pure adreneline, and we have a wonderful tail wind, so we sail into Santa Cruz, and we're filled with joy and excitement about what's to come. Day 2 we are still up and thrilled and it's a really flat and easy journey (though it's one of the longest days). In general, I always find that the 3rd day of riding in a row (on and off the ride) I am stronger then day 2 - my legs know what to do. It's day 4, when you wake tired and sore with new saddle sores in all the WRONG places, and you realize that you still have 3 more days of riding to go that SUCKS...BUT, when you make it over the day 4 hump and we start to wind our way back to the coast - your spirits are lifted again...

TO BE CONTINUED - Check back to see what others of the AIDS LifeCycle Community have to say.
