Riding for the same Reason since 1997 - next up: AIDS Vaccine Ride, May 2011

Yep, it's been a loooong winter and I had a bit of a delay in getting my ride training started recently by a bout with pneumonia - whew!  Legs and lungs sure need to get some riding time now!


My AIDS ride this year will occur sooner than usual in the season - less than 2 months away, actually, as it's mid-May!  I'll again ride in support of AIDS vaccine research - this year the beneficiary is the Emory Vaccine Center at Emory University, Atlanta, GA.  The ride leaves Emory University Medical School on Sat, 5/14 to ride @ 103 miles East to Rock Eagle Park, GA, then return on Sunday.  So my training will be focused on miles in order to train for back-to-back century (100+) rides on consecutive days.  I'll have the same goals as usual: finish safely and have fun while raising as much $ as I can to wipe out AIDS.  For that I'd pedal around the world and back!
