Regular subject and crush of this here blog, Randy Phillips (the gorgeous U.S. airman who gradually came out of the closet over YouTube as DADT was dismantled), is making us swoon even louder as he rides his way down the California coast with AIDS/LifeCycle 11. "I'm From Driftwood"'s Nathan Manske caught up with Randy on the Ride to ask what he hopes to get out of the world's biggest AIDS fundraising event. Naturally, Randy's altruistic and articulate answer sparks a major case of the vapors.
"I kind of wanted to parlay what little bit of attention I got from YouTube into something I think is a taboo for our generation," Randy told Nathan. "Not very many people in their early 20s like to think about AIDS."

AIDSlifecycle is 'An Experience of a Lifetime". And with each 545 mile, 7 day bike trek from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I have learn something new about myself.
AIDSLifecycle 2012 - Day #6 - Lompoc to Ventura -
It was a very challenging & rewarding day.
My bike wheel became united with another cyclist's wheel.
And then, I fell into the freeway pavement.
And as I assessed my bodily damage, I realized no bones were broken yet I had road rash on my right extremities.
And then, I invisioned my good friend of Bella Luxe, Lisa Hines saying, "if nothing is broken, then get your butt back on that bike".....
And then I heard the words of Oprah Winfrey, "Vision, Focus, OWN It!"
And then I heard my mother saying "no one said it would be easy".
Well, although it was mentally challenging, I continued with the journey.
85 miles later - Mission Complete!
