It has been a profoundly "different" past two years to say the very least. In that time, my focus, like many of our's was on different things. And so, I have not been riding the same way I had been in years past. As Spring in 2022 has sprung, I have found my drive and resolve once again to return to a happy place for me. On the saddle side of my bicycle riding hither and yon in an effort to raise critical funds for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and AIDS LifeCycle 2022!!! And if my first long ride out is any indication, this one may hurt more than other years! Maybe this last hiatus from my bike was a bit too long...

2022 will mark my 23rd year involved with the ride and I hope that you will help me to make it the best ever! My hope is that together we can blow thru my initial $30,000 $33,000 goal and reach even higher heights! Charitable organizations, like the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, were hit very hard during the pandemic as everyone's focus changed. As we settle into 2022, I hope you will stand with me to try and fundraise, and do it in a big way, to continue to keep the lifesaving services that the San Francisco AIDS Foundation provides to its ten's of thousands of clients moving forward. 

So, I ask you to please donate, donate with your whole heart, and donate generously, both I and the thousands of clients of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation will be eternally grateful.

If nothing else, I hope that "WE" have learned that the only way will be a stronger and more galvanized Global Society is to do it TOGETHER! I hope you will join me in making a small stamp, or maybe a HUGE indelible mark, on our world to help shape a better tomorrow. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Robert, Rider #1429!!!
