I was going to ride in my first AIDS/LifeCycle in June, but the world had other plans.
Instead of riding 550ish miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles I'll be riding a ton of miles in and around Los Angeles to raise money supporting the life-saving services offered by San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Here's the new plan:
You donate. I ride. Your donation saves lives, and I get to ride my bike. EVERYBODY WINS!
TogetheRide has a goal of 1.2 million miles by June 30, 2021- one mile for each person in the United States living with HIV. Starting October 26th I'm going to ride at least 100 miles a week until the June 30th finale. That's 3600 miles! In fact, I'll ride a mile for every dollar donated up to $5000. I did the math and it turns out that's FIVE THOUSAND MILES.
I'll be posting regular updates on my rides at https://lukehasa.bike so you can ride along with me and see just how silly I can look in bike jerseys. (SPOILER: very silly.)
Also: THERE IS A CONTEST!
You can pick a place anywhere within a 25 mile radius of Universal Studios. I'll pick a location at random and GO THERE! Heck, I might go to ALL of them.

SEND ME SOMEWHERE!
Folks, this only works because your awesomeness makes it work. Support San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Make a donation.
Save lives.
Keep being awesome.
Thank you.
