Around the Park: Pedaling for AIDS awareness
Wanting to "change up her life," the 61-year-old joined her son Jeff and his roommate for the seven-day AIDS/LifeCycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Because public awareness of the deadly virus has receded into the background and the economy is bad, funding for clinics and medications has dried up, and she wanted to help.
Fortunately, the LifeCycle event drew 2,350 riders from across the country and raised $13 million. Carol rode with an 11-member team known as The BUTT'r Cups, raising $5,000 in donations herself.
While not really a cyclist, the self-proclaimed "gym rat" was fitted for a lightweight bike at Pedal Pushers and trained for the event. She cycled with the Severna Park Peloton to gain experience riding in groups and tackled Howard County hills with her friend Chris Mento. None of it prepared her for central California's rugged terrain.
"The ride was life-altering," she said. "There were 600 volunteer roadies who got up at 3 a.m., fixed all our food and were at the rest stops each day. The rides through cities, towns and mountains were very long and grueling and pushed you to your max. Climbing the hills was hard, and there just wasn't the option of getting off and walking your bike up. I found strength I never knew I had. Not once did I want to stop."

Bay Area Reporter Weblogs » AIDS/LifeCycle gets new director
AIDS/LifeCycle, the annual fundraising bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles, has a new director.
Greg Sroda, 38, (seen at left) will start his new position September 19.
Sroda’s participated in the ride for 13 years – including five as a cyclist – and described the event, which benefits the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center, as “a life-changing experience.”
“Having gotten involved for so many years, you see how a group of individuals can come together and really create something special,” Sroda, who lives in San Francisco and is openly gay, said. “It really does something for their communities. … For me, it’s the same thing. It’s helping people. It’s coming together in this amazing community to really make a difference.”
Sroda noted that the 2011 ride, which marked the event’s 10th anniversary, raised a record $13.1 million. He said he aims to continue the momentum “and make sure we’re continuing that legacy that’s been there for so many years.”
