Today's ride was from Lompoc to Ventura 85.5 miles. Well the good news is San Buena Ventura Beach is almost home. The bad news-Deanne was not able to ride today. She woke up this morning feeling great but was in a lot of pain a little later. Tonight was the candle light vigil to honor those that have died and those that still are living with AIDS/HIV. The vigil takes place on the beach. The riders, roadies, and staff are joined by a tremendous group of families, friends and media. The sight of all those people holding candles is awesome and very moving. Tomorrow will be another emotional day when the cyclists ride into the V.A. facilities in Westwood and the ride comes to an end. Well, my job is done. Deanne will be the next blogger. Good Bye.

i know you are very very disappointed, but keep telling yourself:
"I'm here. I'm helping. I'm trying."
That's more than most.
We're all very proud of you!
