A bicycle ride
Its been a month since AIDS Lifecycle 7 and we thought its about time to take you along on our voyage! It was an amazing journey for the two of us. Full of joy, heartache, and of course good old fashioned PAIN. There were long days, filled with strenuous hours, and they were capped off with cold nights surrounded by hundreds of other cyclists. Come along on our epic voyage!
It began at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Over 3,000 people showed up for the kick off ceremony
We headed out, and began the 545 mile journey to LA!
And saw some beautiful scenery
We made it to Camp1! Whew what a sigh of relief. And good friends were waiting for us.
We told you there were lots of tents around us
One of the best things about the ride, was all the support received. Here was a coffee shop in Santa Cruz that had free coffee, free smoothies, and free music!
More great scenery
On day 3, there was a terrible hill suitably named: THE QUADBUSTER. Here is Krista at the summit!
The other great thing about the experience, was the entertainment! The Gay and Lesbian community always keep it interesting!
The sign says it all....
We are the champions!
Go troops!
Ladies in red.....
These are the trucks that carried our gear. At the end of each day, we would go get our gear, and set up our tent for the night. The next morning, before the sun rose, we would break camp, pack up our gear, and bring it all back to the same truck
Isn't Santa Barbara beautiful!?
On the move shot! Hey Aras!
Last day of camp! This is our last meal line!
And now...the home stretch. The beautiful PCH somewhere in Malibu....
Illegal! Only Jason is supposed to take those on the bike pics!!!....Well, we're almost to the finish line, so we'll let it slide
545 miles, seven days, 1 tube of chamoise butter, and 2 sore butts later....WE MADE IT TO LA!!!
We would like to thank all of our wonderful family and friends for all of their support. Without which we most definitely would never have been able to accomplish our goal and ride for such a worthy cause. THANK YOU ALL!!
love,
Krista and Jason

Wow! What an amazing ride, and great pictures. Um, why was your hubby in a dress??? Glad it went well :)
This was awesome! I'm so glad you posted about this (back in July)! I am really on the ball. :) What an experience, though. It inspires me to do something like it.
Hope you both are doing well!
