2,700 Cyclist, 7 Days, 545 Miles, SF to Oprah Winfrey
When 2,700 AIDS philanthropist bike 545 miles past the front door of Oprah Winfrey - Will she open the door?
15 times, I have cycled 7 days, 575 miles, from San Francisco to Los Angeles in a cycling charity event called AIDSLifecycle. In route to Los Angeles, I (and 2,000 of my best friends) cycle thru Montecito, CA. ( Montecito is the home to Oprah Winfrey).
Each Year, the locals of Montecito – Santa Barbara gather and create their own “Paradise Pit Stop” for the approx. 2,000 AIDSLifecycle Cyclist & 400 Volunteer Crew members. There you can find: chocolate bars, organic strawberries, vegan ice cream, corn dogs, Twinkies, coco cola, massages, and then some.. … ALL YOU CAN EAT …GRATIS!
Years ago (as I ate my strawberries and homemade ice cream), I asked several Montecito residents: “Where is Oprah?”

ok, so do the riders on this ride that have aids have to wear a sticker or something? I mean it would suck to crash into someone with aids. Not meaning to be offensive. Just trying to figure out how the ride is done-David
