If you want to really know what AIDS/Lifecycle is like, read The Ride: How to ride your bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles without even dying by Russ Mendivil- past ALC rider/participant ( now a staff member of ALC).I met Russ on his first ride training for ALC 4. From that time on he kept a journal of his adventures training for the Ride. It is an excellent way to find out what training for the ride has in store for you.
All proceeds from the sale of Russ' book goes toward ALC. You can find out more by going to The Ride Story and I'll bet if you send Russ an email at meanolddaddy@aol.com he'll even sell you an autographed one.
It is truly an entertaining (not to mention hilarious) account of The Ride, and what you are about to embark upon.
.....no, really!
