Jordan's ALC Voyage

From June 3-9, 2012, I will be riding from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money for the LA Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

I ride for two reasons. I first learned of the ALC during my on-going fitness journey, and thought it would be a great challenge. Then I started raising money and realized that my fitness journey had brought me here for a reason. It is time for me to make a difference, and help raise money for an important cause.

I ride to make a change in this world for the better. I ride because I can. I ride for those who can't.

Longest ride yet! 73.5 miles

Runkeeper never quite gets distance right when it uploads from my Garmin... the device said 73.55 miles, and it didn't find my position for the first couple of minutes, so it may have been closer to 74.  http://runkeeper.com/user/music2mychakras/activity/87649306?&mobile=false

I had not slept well, and I was NOT in a good mood most of the ride.  Team Hot Wheels flying around me and almost knocking me off my bike a few times didn't help matters.  But -- I made it.  Yes, I skipped the last loop around Fiesta Island which would have pushed it closer to 80 miles, but I was not in the mood to deal with headwinds any more!

This is it... 19 days til I fly up to San Fran, 21 til we ride!!!  I have my ups and downs with riding, and I know I still have some distance to build up, but I am starting to feel ready for this ride.  I know I will have some days where I just want to kill everyone around me, but I also know my fabulous team will be there with support whenever I need it.
