AIDS Ride, first official training ride down

Sunday, Jan 3. 2010  –  Category: Outdoors

I went on my first official AIDS Ride training ride yesterday… a “Category 1″ (the slowest pace group, average speed of 7-8mph) training ride leaving Orinda, and lasting 24 miles.  Turns out it was a bit slow for my pace, and I ended up riding in a breakaway pack that was riding up front.  I’ll try the Category 2 ride next week instead (11-15mph) which should be more my style I think.

In other news, I’ve managed to raise $2320 so far!  Only $680 left to go to meet my goal of raising $3000 for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.  Surely one of your New Years’ resolutions was to donate to stevel’s 545 mile bike ride from SF to LA, right?  If not, hopefully one of your resolutions involved donating to charity?    In any case, if you haven’t donated yet, I (and the SF AIDS Foundation) would really appreciate your donation and support…
