AIDS/Lifecycle • June 4, 2025 Day 3 - “Quadbuster” As beloved as it is feared, “Quadbuster” is a rite of passage for all ALC riders. According to AI: “In the context of the AIDS/LifeCycle bike ride, “Quadbuster” refers to a particularly challenging, steep hill on Day 3 of the route. It’s known for testing the endurance of cyclists, pushing them to their limits and earning its name from the strain it puts on the quadriceps muscles. This relentless, 8-mile climb encompasses almost 1,500 feet of constant elevation gain. The hill is a prominent feature of the ride and a memorable experience for participants.” #aidslifecycle #aidslifecycle2025

AIDS/Lifecycle • June 1, 2025 Day 1 - San Francisco to Santa Cruz Pigeon Point Lighthouse “Tallest Lighthouse on the West Coast” (Please indulge me just a wee bit longer with the bike pics. The event photographers are finally releasing their photos from the ride.) #aidslifecycle #aidslifecycle2025 @aidslifecycle @photo_overland

Oh, just riding alongside an Olympian… as one does. 😃 For a lot of the @aidslifecycle Ride, I was in almost lock-step with another rider: Olympic Medalist Gus Kenworthy! @guskenworthy 🏅 So, I feel pretty good about my cycling skills. (LOL! That’s clearly a joke, because he was probably just “strolling” on his bike.) 😂 As we left a rest stop on Day 1, I pulled up behind him at a stop sign going about 4mph. I said, “Gus, can I call “passing on your left!” so that I can say I passed an Olympian on my bike?” 😂 He laughed and obliged. And was delightful. He raised over $100,000 for the organization, and it was an honor to do the Ride with him.

Whew! What an amazing experience this final ride for @aidslifecycle has been! Thanks to so many of you, I was able to raise over $8,000 to participate in this life-changing charity bicycle ride one last time. Along with 2,200+ Riders and over 600 Roadie volunteers, we pedaled for 7 days, traveling 565 miles down the California coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for this amazing organization. If you had told me just a few years ago that I’d sit on a bicycle for 6-8 hours a day and cycle almost 600 miles - not just once but TWICE - I’d have called you crazy. But, this experience has been life-changing, to say the least. Being surrounded by people from all over the world, from every walk of life, working together towards one purpose is a reminder of how good humans can be to one another. My heartfelt thanks to the many of you who donated, and for allowing me the space to share this journey with you. Now it’s time to re-enter the “real world” refreshed and renewed, albeit a bit exhausted and sunburnt. 🧡
