AIDS Story | Sonya Prybutok
AIDS/Lifecycle Cyclist, Sonya Prybutok
Starting with which AIDS Ride, how many times have you participated?– California AIDS Ride #7 (I think?). And this will be my 5th ride. As a 5th Yr. Veteran, if you had one thing to say to “first time participants,” what would it be?– It’s impossible to fail! This will be one of those life changing experiences that you WILL remember for a life time! You are stronger thenyou think. Which day of the seven day event do you find the most challenging & why?– Day 4. Here’s why…The first day is pure adrenaline, and we have a wonderful tail wind, so we sail into Santa Cruz, and we’re filled with joy and excitement about what’s to come. Day 2 we are still up and thrilled and it’s a really flat and easy journey (though it’s one of the longest days). In general, I always find that the 3rd day of riding in a row (on and off the ride) I am stronger then day 2 – my legs know what to do. It’s day 4, when you wake tired and sore with new saddle sores in all the WRONG places, and you realize that you still have 3 more days of riding to go that SUCKS…BUT, when you make it over the day 4 hump and we start to wind our way back to the coast – your spirits are lifted again… |
