Hello Everyone!
I'm doing it again this year. Yes, this is mostly the same text from previous rides, but the need is still there.
Since it was such a great experience for last four years, I am riding from Boston to NYC in the NYC LGBT Center's annual ride again this September.
Once again, I will be doing the whole thing on Lorelei, my 1977 flamingo Superior, so that classic Schwinns get represented. This year I'm doing something a little different: I am co-captain of the Outcycling team. If you want to join me and my team in this endeavor, please let me know. Outcycling is a metro-NYC LGBTI cycling club, but it is open to everyone who is interested. I'm happy to offer information if you would like to register as a rider or as crew. The ride is reaching capacity, but registration should be open until the middle or end of June.
This charity ride raises funds for the Center's HIV programs, which includes prevention education and assistance for people living with HIV and AIDS. I (and many, many others) would be very grateful for any donations. Also, if you work for a business that makes such contributions I would also appreciate corporate contributions, so feel free to pass this information along.
My donation page is:

The main page for the ride is:

An overview of the programs supported is available at

Thanks so much!
The ride doesn't scare me, but the fundraising part sure does!
