| Most of these pictures are from my parents, who met my friends in Dupont Circle before taking the Metro to the Mall to meet me! Here is a bunch of fans, on Q Street in Dupont: Eva, Kristen, my father, Susan, Patrick, Meg, Rick, and Patti. |
| Hugging mom after finishing on the Mall. There were thousands of people waiting to meet all the riders; those signs really helped me find them. I literally bumped into my mom. |
| It was really brave of these people to hug me. Here is Michael (loyal NDC volunteer), Patti, Patrick, me, and Kristen--basically everyone I work with! Notice I'm still wearing Jen's Mardi Gras beads, which she had given me on Day One for good luck (her yellow bandana was retired to the laundry bag on Day Three). |
| Finally, a picture of camera-shy Kristen, who is also my housemate. |
| Best friends--Patti, me, and Kristen. Between seeing my best Baltimore/DC buds and my parents, and finishing the AIDSRide, it was about all the emotion I could handle for one day. I couldn't believe it was over so fast. |
