Center Ride Out: 3-Day Bike Ride for HIV/AIDS Services

It's April 24th. You're listening to California News Today, AI-powered local news. I'm Cori with the story.

AIDS Lifecycle just leveled up with a fresh 3-day bike ride called Cineride Out, put on by the Los Angeles LGBT Center to fund HIV and AIDS.

Services. A kicked off Friday morning from Elysian Park in LA, with over 300 cyclists and volunteers hitting the road for a shorter spin than the old.

Seven-day trek. This comes after 30 years of the original event, pulling in more than $300 million since 1994.

Center leaders decided to pivot to three days to keep the momentum going strong without the full-week grind.

Riders are all in, talking about giving back to a community that saved lives with free services for everyone in LA, LGBTQ or not.

The vibe is tight folks who've used the center's programs now pedaling to support others.

Day one pushed over 110 miles through LA into Riverside County, camping at Lake Skinner near Temecula.

Saturday offers shorter ride options or a chill recharge than Sundays nearly 90 miles straight to San Diego.

Once they roll in, a block party caps it off, celebrating the cash raised, already over $800,000 and that unbreakable rider bond, carrying the cause forward.
