ALC5 Cyclist Tony Eason: AIDS/Lifecycle 2015

Tony Eason

On 01 January 1994, I realized that there was more to life than: guzzling an expensive bottle of Robert Mondavi Chardonnay, being the belle of the ball, speaking of what others need to work on, and/or sitting daily on the same coach (in self pity). So, I bought a 10 year old Bianchi Road Bike. And I began a 6-month intense cycling training for a cycling event called the California AIDS Ride #2.

In May of 1994, I left San Francisco with $3.00 in my pocket, no idea of how I was going to return, a questionable bike, the fear of failure, and began to cycle (along with 1500 other cyclist) toward West Hollywood. Seven days, 575 miles later, I arrived in West Hollywood. At which point, I realized it is possible to step outside of your normal routine. I realized it is possible to empower yourself while assisting others. I realized that I wasn’t alone in my ideas of creating a better world. And I realized that miracles could occur (after all, I made it back home with $3.00 in my pocket) .

The AIDS/LifeCycle Podcast

Just were starting to think: "When is the AIDS/LifeCycle / New Belgium Brewing Beer Bust Fundraiser?"

The AIDS/LifeCycle / New Belgium Brewing Company Beer Bust is a fundraiser in support of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

AIDSLifecycle is a 545 mile, 7 day, 2,500 cyclist, 400 crew member, caravan traveling on 06 June 2010 from San Francisco to Los Angeles in the fight against the AIDS Pandemic.
On 31 May 2015, I will embark on my 18th bike journey from SF to LA. Each year. I must raise a minimum of $3,000.00 to participate. And each year, I complete the ride knowing I did the right thing.
