Here are some of my photos from the California AIDS Ride, June 1999.
At one time I intended to scan some more photos and write some
fabulous text for this page... but don't hold your breath! :-)
Riding my bike
What a smile... hey, it was Day 1, so I could still do that! :-)
Day 1 again
Still Day 1
A rider with a porpoise! Or, is it a "dolphyn"?
Riding my bike on Day 2
...and still smiling!
Here I am with the fabulous Chicken Lady. Yes, "she" actually wore this outfit while riding.
This rider had an entire AIDS Ride on her helmet!
The backs of cyclists -- I saw a lot of these over the course of a week!
Here I am, coming up the hill...
Yum :-)
There were actually TWO riders who could not use their legs to pedal, so they used their arms!
Whew! Half way there.
How could I resist having my picture taken and buying a shirt at the Dolphin Shirt Company?
Morro Bay -- the rock and the power plant...
... and ME!
The view from Highway 101 (at least, I think it was 101...)
Playing around...
...and swinging...
...in Lompoc
Look at all those bikes! Since most of the orange flags represent positive pedalers (riders with HIV), my safety flag caused some confusion.
A popular picture spot. (Contrary to popular belief, there's no law against riding a bike wearing jeans.)
I had lunch (REAL FOOD!) with an old college friend in Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara is beautiful -- bike paths everywhere!
Fooling around with some fabulous crew members
Exhausted (and kind of sick) in Ventura
Believe it or not, these trucks provide great showers.
Some people carry this helmet decoration thing just a little TOO far.
Wowsers -- I made it!
And so did a few thousand others...
