We have finished the 2013 ALC 12 ride!

Our official PG&E team photo for ALC 12

Here is our official team photo of the 2013 ride. Bright & early, a 6am meet up and, notice, we are all pretty much wide awake.

This year's ride raised a record 14.2 MILLION dollars to provide services for the SF AIDS Foundation & LA Gay & Lesbian Center.  Thank you to all our wonderful supporters, donors and followers.  Many of us have already signed up to ride again next year.

Some of the team stopped for burgers at Barneys in L.A.  The rest of the team met up at Starbucks, a few blocks away and road in to the finish line together.  The finish is an amazing, uplifting, and spirited, thank you by thousands of spectators, lining the road.  I have to admit, by the end of 545 miles, although exhilarated, we were mostly tired, and don't have many photos.

At closing ceremonies, the different sponsors thank us & there was a performance by the So You Think You Can Dance, Allstars, pictured below.

We all love to talk about our experience & encourage others to ride or volunteer with us, so feel free to engage us.

  A special thank you to Southwest Airlines, who gave all the returning ALC folks complimentary cocktails & early boarding, just because they could.
