Day On The Ride

DOTR is a one day ride to expose newbies to what to expect for the 7 days of AIDS/LifeCycle.
PG&E was represented with 5 experienced Riders and 2 Roadies, Emilia & David Haya.

Power Pedalers fundraise at Gianni's "Tips for Change"

Gianni's Restaurant in San Ramon hosted a Tips for Change night for our team. We were the servers and all tips + 10% and all our raffle money went to our AIDS/LifeCycle Fundraising.
Tenuta Winery donated 2 prizes of wine tastings for 10 and all of us added 2 bottles of wine to make it an even more tempting win.

Wheels For Meals for Alameda County, 10-29-16

Rest Stop 1, the only rest stop on the 35 miler. 

Great snacks and volunteers.

Part of our 30 + team and volunteers before riding out. Giancarlo, Jason, Jan, David, Richard,
Richard's friend, The Bhatawadekar  Family who arrived before dawn to volunteer.

 Amazingly lucky weather day. It stormed yesterday, and will again tomorrow, but we had 70 degrees by the BBQ and no showers all day.
Giancarlo, got 2 flats at the same time, darn hole in the road. We all stopped to provide jokes and camaraderie. He'd finished changing them when we arrived, so we had little else to do. Only 5 miles left and the sun was still shining so we were all very happy.

Marcie, David & Jason at Rest Stop 1, looking good.

 Team photo at the BBQ, only missing about 10 people, not bad for any event that had 3 different rides, 15, 35 & 70 milers.

Power Pedalers training to ride the Napa ALS ride

October 1, 2016, the PG&E Power Pedalers will ride on team Lana's Warriors, in honor of Russ Rylee's wife, Lana.  The ride is 62 miles in Napa, with a BBQ afterwards.
Sunday we trained together, 50 miles, from San Ramon, over the Dublin Grade to Castro Valley, Redwood Rd, to Pinehurst through Lafayette and back to San Ramon. A beautiful ride.

Rick, Jason, Mike, Jan and David, all finished strong, although the younger ones, stronger and faster than the older ones.

Day 7, ALC, June 11, 2016, 545 miles-Done!

We left Ventura in overcast but about 10 miles out it started drizzling. We pulled out at this base for a quick stretch. By the time we got to rest stop 1, the drizzle was rain. The cameras didn't come out again until lunch. Instead, Mylar blankets and rain ponchos did.

I think Emilia was saying she couldn't believe the sudden change in the weather.

Backsides got muddy, except Jan had an emergency poncho she used.

Lunch was in a beach parking lot on the PCH and we were starting to dry off.

The idea was for the team to wait at lunch and all ride in together to the finish line, but the weather changed our minds. We all rode in separately.

David was napping and missed the photo.

These jungle animals were in a front yard on the last leg of the ride through West Hollywood.

Happy, so happy to have accomplished 7 days and 545 miles in the fight against AIDS/HIV
