Why I ride AIDS LIFE/CYCLE (2015)

I am at it again. This will be my third time participating in this amazing event. Cycling from San Francisco to Los Angeles is one of the best experiences i had ever done.

Its journey from the moment you sign up till you reach the finish line.

Help me raise money towards a cause that means dear to me.

Special Shout Out to my friend Diana C. for helping me record these shots.

This is a personal video and was NOT created by AIDS LIFECYCLE or during an Official ALC Ride.

This was recorded on a closed road with NO MOTOR Vehicle access.

REMEMBER to ALWAYS Wear your helmet when riding. 

ALC does not allow handheld devices or taking photos/videos when riding on your bike on OFFICIAL ALC Rides.

Some verbiage & facts on this video are from the AIDS LIFECYCLE website.

The "RIDE545" graphic design was not created by me but for AIDS LIFECYCLE.

Please be safe, respectful, & smart on how you ride.

Descending down Papa Bear

Here I am speeding about 40+mph down Papa Bear in Orinda, CA

This is one of the popular cycling destinations out here as there is very minimal vehicle traffic. 

According to Strava, my Placement on this segment is 19 / 3674

Beard Descend on one of the 3 Bears

I wanted to change the camera view and show myself this time instead of showing what's in front of me. And plus who doesn't want to see a a snot rocket and a beard in the wind.

"My Beard Beneath the Wind"

Grizzly Peak Descend

One of my favorite descends in the Oakland hills. This is on Grizzly Peak to Gold Course. 

As you can see a few bumps in the road made my camera knock over a few times. I will find a way to fix it.

RESTART 2015

So here I am.. I revamped my site again. Im doing this in a "blog style" this time to share with all of you guys what is going on in my world.

Just like what someone told me.. I am like an onion, so many layers and you just keep peeling away and there is more. Pretty much it except I try to avoid the whole making you cry deal.

I do have some old posts on here from about 5yrs ago and again that was the past and I willing to open up.

I know I will share a lot of my cycling adventures, home things, and just life in general. Since my my mind is all over the place, this will be my place to share what is going on.

Enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
