Just packed up the car and are headed back to Phoenix. Check back in the days to follow for an ALC 8 Recap from both Dan and myself!!

Spent last night with friends and family. Dinner at Farfalla and then an evening in Wst Hollywood. Today went to breakfast and a drive down Santa Monica Blvd

We made it!!!!! dan and i got in today at 1:25 and completed our journey. As i pulled in i was shocked to see my mom and sister her to support me. Tears ...

Crossed the finish line in Los Angeles, CA around 1:25pm today!

Last 17 here we come!

Almost there..... eating lunch at Howdy's Taqueria and 17 miles to go!!! LA here we come

DAY SEVEN: VENTURA TO LOS ANGELES! WHOO HOOOOO!

We're almost there! Today our trip south will take us through Ventura, Oxnard and Port Hueneme (pronounced Why-Knee-Me) and Malibu. Is that Mel Gibson I spy!

We will see the military planes on display as you ride past the Naval Air Station on our way to Highway 1 also known as the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Once on PCH it's a straight shot down the coastline for about 20 miles. We will enjoy the southern California sights of surfers and beach goers as we pedal through Malibu on our way toward LA. We will complete our journey with a turn away from the coast and nice pedal through Santa Monica on our way to the Closing Ceremonies site.

Highlight of the day: The streets are peppered along the route on Day 7 with friends, family and well-wishers!

Lying in my sleeping bag with the tent open looking at the stars and watching the moon dip below the horizon before I get up and get dressed to ride to LA!

Last night sleeping in this damn tent! But what better place than Ventura?! Tomorrow we'll ride into Los Angeles together - many riders, one cause.

Thousands gather on the beach in Ventura to remember those we have lost. Shelton i love you and miss you ... i ride this year for you

Tonight, we honor those we have lost...

Tonight, the participants of AIDS/LifeCycle, as well as our friends and families, honor the memory of everyone we have lost to this disease. As we gather on the beach this evening in Ventura, California, I ask each of you take a moment to reflect on your own memories and the impact HIV and AIDS have had on your own life. We must come together to put a stop to the spread of HIV while helping those living with HIV and AIDS to live in good health and with the dignity and respect they deserve as our brothers and sisters.

Bless you all!

Just finished dinner in camp in Ventura... It's going to be hard getting used to cooking for myself after 12 days on the road. :)
