while reading all this stuff about torrin/lucklust, i figure he's a really good guy (i dont really know him). he did a lifecycle ride for aids patients and raised $2500. people on the forum kicked in, like thylacine, karstens, and mr[165]. we have had tons of people go down lately, and lots of people have thrown into many pots recently, and it makes me all happy and warm and fuzzy. thankfully, i havent gone down, and i am not asking for money (unless you want to donate!)

so this one's for torrin. i am signing up to do the 2005 ride for aids (https://www.rideforaids.org/), 170 miles in 2 days, raising $1000 over the next month. and i will be sporting my new thylacine jersey when i ride. if i hadnt read that old thread, i wouldnt have even thought about doing this. so lucklust has now helped to raise another $1k for AIDS/HIV even though he may not be able to read this.

thanks guys!

Post your pledge link when you get it. I'm in.

If I didn't have finals that week I would totally join you. Again, post your pledge info so we can donate.

thanks guys! i will post it tonight. i decided to do it as i was writing, so i'm in the process of getting it together.
cheers!

Let's keep this one alive. Rock on Angie.

https://www.justgiving.com/pfp/angiesaidsride

and you can pm me for my paypal account

thanks again. i'm so psyched!

Ha ha! First one on there. I challenge everyone to meet or exceed my meagre contribution!

done

wallet opened

Up to the top again. Yeah I know, but it's for a good cause.

Ride watch:
$150 out of $1000!

great start. Keep it going

Kazang!!!! $225 - nearly a quarter of the way there. Come on, do you really need that new bartape? Of course! But steal it from your roomie. Pledge $5, $7.85, $25 (hint) it's all good. Cranking my challenge specifically to Canadian fixers. Hold off on one double-double a day for a week, you big wally, and pledge the cash.

Threw down. As many kind others helped me, I help in return. Karma baby!

Ride strong Angie and Torrin.

I won't have much cashola until next month, but I'll chip in then.

Or if someone from this list orders a fixie or singlespeed frame before then, I'll chip in a larger chunk from it's sale.

Cool?

bump

Not bad, $535 out of the 1000, half way there. Let's keep it alive.

are you going to ride a fixie on the ride? torrin did, no?

Yup, Torrin rode his pista.

I want to donate. But I don't want to put my info out anywhere more than I have to. Can I pay pal to you please?

yeah i'm gonna ride fixed. with a singlespeed on the flop just in case.

thanks for all the bumps and pledges!

$560!!!
Go Banana!

it should go up by $200 more over the weekend, leaving me at $750ish. not bad for the first week - thanks guys!!

Done, the stuff I squirled for Abstnr just became yours.. ride for everyone. Good luck.

Payment sent via PayPal. Good luck!

I just pushed us over 600 (barely over, but over all the same ). My friend is in Florida for the lukemia/lymphoma triathalon right now. She impresses me because I helped her buy the first bike of her adult life this time last year, and today she's whupping ass on a triathalon. Mad props to the charity rides!

peace,
