Several years ago, I did the Minneapolis-Chicago AIDS Ride -- 500 miles in six days, all on bikes. I made it all under my own power, and only walked once (on the Hill Day.) It was an amazing experience, and I'm glad I did it. Riders raise money for AIDS charieties in the Midwest, and the returns can be impressive.

Trevor, who Tripp and I met on the Ride, is riding again this year. He's a graphics guy, a pop god and a pretty damn fine human being. Pledge here if you can. It's worth it.
