The brave journey of kindness began with 2,700 other riders, on the streets of San Francisco. Riders headed south down the Peninsula through wooded valleys and quiet coastal communities into Santa Cruz. Then on to Steinbeck country, through the pastoral Salinas Valley and its vast sun-swept fields and miles of rolling hills. Then through San Luis Obispo and on down the coast, through sleepy beachside towns, as the locals came out with signs and high-fives to cheer the riders on. There was lunch in Santa Barbara, camp near the beach in Ventura, and then riders followed the breathtaking Pacific Coast Highway down into Los Angeles, where thousands of cheering supporters awaited the riders.
Net proceeds went to AIDS service organizations working within the communities the Ride passes through, providing medical care, food, shelter and other services for those with HIV and AIDS.
