you'll be able to follow us online during the ride. From June 4th (registration or Day 0) till we arrive in LA June 11th on the website www.aidslifecycle.org: www.aidslifecycle.org there will be a webcast with pictures and even video posted daily. I'm the one with the pink helmet with purple mermaid on top ;-)

you can e-mail us, sort o' kind o'. We won't be able to reply unless bike goddess stops at internet cafe's on route ;-)

During the ride there will be a link on the site you can send a message of support to all riders and individual riders. Your message of support is printed out and there'll be a binder in camp where we see them each night.

Keep it clean folks, everyone reads these ;-)

You'll need our rider numbers so ....without further ado Introducing your TE team (insert drum roll here)

As far as I know we have 3 TE'ers doing the Lifecycle ride this year.

Annerol is rider # 5292

Bike Goddess is rider # 5481

and me, TREK rider # 5650

anyone else I might have missed?

Lastly I do a group voicemail message thing to my sponsors each year who have voicemail. I send out a message each day; miles, weather, how I'm doin', how I'm feelin' did I hit any cows etc.

I could put someone here on that so someone on the board would get the update then if you want to post it to the group.

But I'd have to get your number so that's up to you. You'd need to be:

in California (won't work out of State)

have SBC service at home or at work with....

voicemail (not the voicemail on your cell service, not that awful Unified Communications &^%$ we do, just regular voicemail or message center)

I've been asked a lot about the route:

Day 1 San Fran to Aptos

87.5 miles

Day 2 Aptos to King City

100.7 miles

Day 3 King City to Paso Robles

77.2 miles

Day 4 Paso Robles to Santa Maria 98.7 miles

Day 5 Santa Maria to Lompoc "only a mere" 43.5 miles this is red dress day ;-)

Day 6 Lompoc to Ventura

88.3 miles

Day 7 Ventura to LA

82.4 miles

you're all invited to opening and closing ceremonies, I can post times and directions if you're in SF or LA.

Lastly I think I can safely speak for all three of us that I have learned so much from this board whether cycling or just life in general. I could not even attempt this without the advice and moral support of all you gals, would not have been able to do what I did last time either. So thanks again to all of you.

AND...Don't forget- we're riding to raise money for AIDS! You can pitch in too by going to the website and putting in your 2 cents worth! All goes to the same place and much appreciated! (I won't stop fundraising till the end of the ride...

)

thanks Slug, and we want to hear all about your rides!

I just found out that Tinker Juarez will be riding with us...uh, with the faster riders like Goddess.

Last year Tracy Chapman rode, did I ever tell you the Tracy Chapman story? Remind me when I get back. And when I crewed on CAR4 Gregg Louganis rode (both did not camp, stayed in hotels).

well, back to getting ready....found my bulk Ibuprofin.

So, about this time in 2000 I was breathing into paperbags trying to remain calm!

Trek already knows this - annerol and Bike Goddess - you are in for the time of your life! Enjoy every minute!

I'll be at tent assignment until 1:30 tomorrow - see y'all there!

May you have wings on your feet, the wind at your back, and the breathe of God to see you through the next 7 days. Keeping all of you in my thoughts! Ride well and come home safe!
