DM Solo Training Ride: Up South Mountain for Kerry Castillo!

Kerry Castillo is one of the most amazing people I know. Kerry is one of the incredibly dedicated Cyclist Representatives at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center. I got to spend a few hours with Kerry last weekend training to be an AIDS LifeCycle Training Ride Leader so that I can "officially" take our new Phoenix recruits out on the road and make sure they are properly trained for the BIG RIDE.

The first stretch of the road. The sky was BEAUTIFUL!

If it weren't enough that Kerry works for AIDS LifeCycle, this year she has committed to join all of the cyclists on the ride in fundraising! She's going to be asking for contributions from friends and family just like the rest of us. I'm so incredibly proud of her for doing this. I was even more proud to be one of her first supporters!

That wasn't enough, though. So I dedicated Wednesday morning's climb to the summit of South Mountain to Kerry Castillo. 

So, Kerry... These 1,500 feet of climb were for YOU!

I love you, Wonder Woman. You're amazing.
