The second issue of the Daily Spin continued with our tradition of featuring the most important people on AIDS/LifeCycle: our participants.

The issue opened with a feature about Alisa Curry, a roadie Deputy overseeing all medical volunteer personnel. Alisa is one of many volunteers and cyclists who have been participating in endurance fundraising for HIV/AIDS since the California AIDS Ride, the predecessor to AIDS/LifeCycle. Her position this year has her enjoying the coordination of medical services and helping thousands of cyclists and roadies travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles safely and with some of the best medical care available in the world.

The second feature highlighted the contributions of Team Schwab. This is the first year that Charles Schwab, a financial services company in San Francisco, has been an official sponsor. They have given their treasure to benefit the event before, both money and manpower, but they were excited to increase their support this year. Charles Schwab’s corporate culture emphasizes charitable giving.

Other important features of the first edition include statistics, information on routes, weather, safety tips, and an outline of the evening’s stage activities.

Issue 1 of the Daily Spin was distributed to cyclists and roadies at the event’s orientation day, which takes place the day before we first ride out. This year, it took place at Cow Palace in Daly City, CA. The first edition is the only one that covers more than one day, encompassing both orientation day and day one of the ride.

The first issue carries a thank you from the CEOs of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, thanking cyclists and roadies who give so much for one week each year to help fund the programs of the two beneficiary organizations.

On the second page, one of AIDS/LifeCycle’s most enduring teams, Team Bear, is featured. Team Bear is a collection of men and women of all backgrounds. One thing unites them: a desire for community.
