Words of the day: On Day 5 we wear red
Today is Red Dress day. This has been a tradition for many years. Everyone is encouraged to wear their best red dress. Fun part is that everyone has a very creative take on this. The dresses and costumes are fantastic. When we climb the switch backs wearing red we create the image of a long beautiful red ribbon, the universal symbol of awareness and support for those living with HIV.
A shorter ride today, 43 miles. We rode through Vanderberg Airforce base The short day gave us a chance to soak in the “love bubble” the term we all use for the feeling we share with our other 3000 riders, roadies, and volunteers. Sharing this experience together brings us all closer and reminds us of how important it is that we care for one another every day of our lives. We are sharing some love bubble with all of you today. Thanks for making this ride possible.
