After the first Florida AIDS Ride, I was hooked, and cycling became a way of life for me.

I lived cycling, breathed cycling, and would have rested in peace if I'd have died cycling.

I rode every weekend -- sometimes with friends, sometimes by myself. For awhile there, I was signing up for 2-day bike rides in all-points Florida. I would pack up my bike & tent & head for whatever city was having a local ride that weekend.
