LA City

California is the kind of state you just don't want to leave, so I'm glad that it's the only one I get to spend two days in. After a breakfast burrito with my future cousins-in-law, I headed north to Bakersfield, taking a detour to cruise along the coast up the famous Highway 1. The sky was overcast, and the ride was scenic but rather chilly, and too grey for any good pictures.


I couldn't pass LA without stopping in at the world famous Task Force 33 in South Central. The guys were terrific, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They fed me an amazing lunch of homemade pozole, a spicy Mexican soup, and we spent a couple of hours talking shop before I headed up north to Bakersfield.

Motorcycling for Ovarian Cancer Awareness

This summer, I’m riding my Harley across the country and back in 16 days. I’ll be stopping at firehouses along the way to promote awareness about ovarian cancer, because everyone should know the symptoms. While the fire department is a field dominated by men, we have mothers, wives, daughters, girlfriends, and sisters.

I’m asking you to support my journey by donating to the HERA Women's Cancer Foundation. My goal is to raise $6000 for HERA’s mission, a dollar for every mile I ride. They have set up a webpage for me where you can make a tax-deductible donation. HERA is not supporting my journey financially. All of the proceeds that HERA receives will go directly towards their mission. Through a combination of corporate sponsorship and my own funds, I will cover the expenses associated with my journey.

To find out more about HERA and their efforts to stop the loss of women from ovarian cancer, visit their website, www.herafoundation.org
