Code of Conduct (aka Safety)

Think about this for a minute.

One little town somewhere in the middle of nowhere, can get pissed at any one of us--- blowing a stop sign, riding two or more abreast or blocking their way to work by pace-lining... with just one angry town, permits can be declined and the Ride for AIDS effectively TERMINATED. There just aren't that many ways to get to L.A without taking the freeway, and we are using most of them.

So please think about this when you decide to ride side by side with someone, blow a stop sign or block traffic with your team one morning while riding out of camp during the week of June 1.

Its not just about YOU and YOUR safety... but the safety of the future of AIDS Lifecycle.

This Ride means a lot to all of us, and to our many friends and family members who fight this disease every day. You may not know anyone HIV+ but by the end of the week you will meet many, as well as many who have been affected by this horrible disease.

So- Don't Blow it for the Rest of Us who may need the money and awareness that the ride brings.
