Braking the Cycle – 1 day to go until I bike 300 miles in the fight against AIDS
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jeff Klein and I am riding in Braking the Cycle this year! Braking the Cycle is a 300 mile bike ride which raises money for the Center’s HIV and AIDS services as well as spreads awareness along the route. This year the ride is from Boston to New York City, returning to the route of the original AIDS ride which benefited the Center. I will join over 120 people who will make this journey, each whom have raised over $3,500 for the Center.
I will be blogging from the ride (not from WHILE riding – don’t worry!) and trying to convey what an amazing experience it is to do the ride. This is my second year riding and I can tell you last year was a fantastic experience. It is a physical challenge but also so much more than that. The emotional experience of the ride is something I have not found any where else. You leave feeling you accomplished something important, having raised money for those in need, but you also have connected with over 100 other people in a profound way despite the fact that it has only been 3 days.
I hope you enjoy hearing about my experience on the ride this year – and maybe it will inspire you to join us next year!
