Bloggers' stories from the road on Day 2 (Tuesday)
- Cyclist James writes, "Those who have little faith in humanity any longer need to do this ride. It has certainly changed my outlook of the world and it has been only two days." Find out why James' perspective changed.
- As Roadie Erin was unloading bags at the camp site in King City, "it was that sun-beating-down-on-you hot. Other roadies kept circling around reminding us to drink water and put on sunscreen. I love how we get so wrapped up with our job we need people to remind us to pee." Read Erin's interviews with other roadie teams.
- Cyclist Bart, who is from the Netherlands, tells of an HIV-positive AIDS/LifeCycle participant who had done 15 AIDS rides: "He added that he was very proud of that fact. You see, showing some respect for what you have done is quite uncommon in my country I think. So I liked his honesty and his self respect." Read more of Bart's impressions cycling through California.
- On this 105-mile day, Cyclist Annette feared she might not be able to finish in time and would get picked up by the Support and Gear (SAG) vehicle. "This was my first century and I was damn well going to finish. However, throughout the course of the ride I wondered when I would decide to end it and just SAG. I was even trying to come up with names for SAG. Sad Ass Girl was at the top of my list, as was Sassy Able Girl, Special Agent Girl, and finally Silly Attractive Girl." Did Annette SAG?
