Biking to End Aids 2

I'm riding again!

2011-10-02T10:00:00.000-07:00

I signed-up for my 3rd AIDS/LifeCycle ride, ALC11, which will take place in June 2012! Want to ride with me?

Day 3 - Rest Stop 4

2011-07-05T06:38:00.000-07:00

This is a performance by the members of Rest Stop 4 on day 3 of the ride. Not only was this entertainment for the cyclists, but RS4 also raised some money for Mission San Miguel which hosts the rest stop each year.

Day 6 (Take Two)

2011-06-30T05:56:00.000-07:00

Last year on ALC8, the route was closed by the California Highway Patrol due to dangerous road conditions caused by bad weather. So this video is a "Take Two" of the Lompoc-to-Ventura ride. Luckily we had great weather this time around and were able to experience "Paradise Pit" which was wonderful!

Ready to Ride

2010-06-04T21:36:00.000-07:00

Well, time has flown since last year's AIDS/LifeCycle 8 and it's time to ride again! I just finished packing all my stuff, and I'm ready to hit the road. Tomorrow morning, I'll be taking a one-way flight to San Francisco, then taking a cab to Cow Palace for AIDS/LifeCycle 9 check-in and orientation. Then on Sunday, I'll be up bright and early to take the 4AM shuttle bus back to Cow Palace for the opening ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony, the flood gates will be opened and the ride will begin! Zero miles down, 545 to go!

When the ride is complete, it'll take some time for me to compile all the photos and videos I took. But once I get organized, I'll post them here. So check back occasionally for updates.

I'll see you on the road!

Solana Beach Training Ride

2010-03-27T07:36:00.000-07:00

The Solana Beach training ride is a ride organized by Team OC (www.teamoc.org). We rode 75-miles from Irvine to Solana Beach, CA, had pizza, and took the train back to Irvine. It was a very well-organized event and a wonderful ride.

Donors

I would like to give a special thank you to those who have sponsored me in this important journey. Your donation has gone immediately toward helping the LA Gay & Lesbian Center to continue their life-saving work for those living with HIV/AIDS. I am humbled by your generous support that will no doubt have a positive impact on the lives of others. Thank you!

Hello and welcome to my AIDS/LifeCycle 9 blog! My name is John Riedel and I'll be biking 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles in June 2010 to benefit those living with HIV/AIDS. I plan on having my video camera with me every mile of this amazing charity event. So please check-back for video updates to this blog.

Thank you!
