Representative Adam Schiff will be the first United States Congress person to ride in the AIDS/LifeCycle Ride.
Rep. Schiff began representing West Hollywood in 2013 when redistricting placed the Creative City into one that runs north to Pasadena and La Canada/Flintridge (California’s 28th Congressional District map).
He sees the AIDS/LifeCycle ride as an important function for any civic minded person:
I did have the opportunity to speak at the closing ceremony last year which was a real treat – it was a real moving event. I remember saying to myself that, if the week the ride takes place coincides with a recess week where we didn’t have any votes, than I would love to do it.
The ride will deliver him unto the Los Angeles basin on the day before he is set to appear once again in the West Hollywood CSW Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, as he did last year.
AIDS/LifeCycle is a fully supported, 7-day bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It will take place June 1st through June 7th, 2014.
