I would also strongly recommend H2B also create a presence on Threads.  It will be very well received and create more opportunity to help us meet our ride goals.

Looking forward to seeing all of you in September for final ride # 21!

It’s been a bit of a hot minute since we were able to get together and ride, but this year is just too important to pass up. 20 years and 20 rides with the goal of ending HIV/AIDS.

It’s been a bit of a hot minute since we were able to get together and ride, but this year is just too important to pass up. 20 years and 20 rides with the goal of ending HIV/AIDS.

As you can see, I’ve been doing a LOT of walking over the last few weeks. The goal is to strengthen my legs and lose a few pounds in my core, so that I will be ready for Harbor to the Bay in September.

I was hoping to get in a couple of practice rides this week, but with the pending heat wave (3+ days of temps in the 90-degree range), I suspect spin classes will be preferable – and safer!

We’re just 60 days as of today – and counting – to Saturday, September 17th.  Stay healthy and safe, and I’ll see you all in the fall!

I’m also a NH-State certified HIV/STD  [ … Read More →]]]> Many of you know me as one of the long-time riders of Harbor to the Bay. Matter of fact, this will be year 13 (and 12 as a rider).  Participating as a rider is just one of the ways that I help to fight the good fight against HIV/AIDS.

I’m also a NH-State certified HIV/STD counselor.  I received my certification in 2007 – the same year that I started to participate with #H2B.  During the last 12 years, I’ve been putting my counseling skills to work at the Joan Lovering Health Center (formerly the Feminist Health Center) in Greenland, NH.  I volunteer 1-2x a month during their scheduled walk-in nights.  I’ve had the great pleasure to work with all manner of patients, some who get tested routinely and others who need an ear to listen and words of wisdom when they are truly concerned for their health status.

In addition, some of the staff of the Joan Lovering Health Center have helped us out at pit stop # 6 in Brewster.  It’s been a great partnership and one that truly fills me with purpose, in much the same way as #H2B.

Please consider donating to #H2B.  It’s an amazing event that does so much great work for so many working to end HIV/AIDS in our lifetime!

I wanted to make sure that people saw this.  Reebok has launched its own #Pride line for 2019.  More importantly, a portion of the sales from the #Pride line from May 15th through June 30th will be donated to Fenway Health, up to $50,000!

I apologize for the lateness of this post, but I just found out about this special product just this morning.

The Polar Bottle company is offering a Pride bottle, which would look fantastic on the bikes of our riders.  There are 2 different styles and sizes.  The link below offers bottles in 12, 20, 24 and 48 oz sizes.  The bottles are dual-insulated to keep beverages cool on those long practice rides during the summer.  Prices run from $10.99 to $19.99, depending on which size you select.

The following link has the same pride bottle, but only in 20 oz ($14.99) and 24 oz sizes ($15.99).  Unlike the first sport bottle, which offers the zipstream in black only, you can select a color for the attached zipstream.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The sale ends after today (June 30th), so you will need to order by end the day today.
