Kicking off my first year at ALC, I’m working as a roadie for the Gear & Tent Team, which takes charge of loading and unloading equipment and tents. The job description entails lifting more than 60 pounds, so the cyclists won’t be the only ones getting a good workout. If I think my arms are toned now, wait until after hauling around gear all week – I’ll be ready for a career in professional weightlifting!
And just in case that doesn’t pan out, I can always stick to my day job as a legal news writer (heavy lifting not required). I recently returned to the sunny skies and laid-back atmosphere of San Diego after a two-year stint in the hustle and bustle of New York City. What better way to reconnect with California than taking part in a one-of-a-kind event like this, where I get to rally behind thousands of dedicated cyclists as they pedal 545 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles!
While this is my first trip with ALC, I already have a feeling it won’t be my last.
