Loree Glenn of Mission Viejo is continuing her quest from San Francisco to Los Angeles - on a bicycle. That 545 miles of biking is to help and support the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation while raising AIDS awareness. Today, Tuesday, is the third day of Loree's ride and according to aidslifecycle.org:
"Day 3 takes you through the little town of Bradley, California, population 120 according to Wikipedia. One of the big events of the year in Bradley (if not THE big event) is when ALC rolls through. The whole town shows up and throws a barbecue for us. They use the money for school programs, such as field trips, that the kids would not otherwise have access to. The barbecue in Bradley is the only meal during ALC that most of the riders pop for. The welcome we received from that little town was just amazing. At camp that night, the teacher who organizes the barbecue spoke at dinner and brought the house down."
Day 3 update
Loree's husband Kevin received a text from Loree at about 11:45 a.m. today from the summit of "Quadbuster," a 1.3 mile, nonstop, steep vertical climb that's considered to be the toughest hill in the entire 7-day ride. It's somewhere in the vicinity of the town of Bradley, Ca, and the hill is known to get the best of even the most competent riders.
Check back with us tomorrow as Loree continues her amazing ride!
