aids ride 2008, Toronto to Mexico City, Description: Well, It was an idea discovered when Surya Makarla, Executive Steering Member AIDS Ride 2008 & 2010, happened to live as a guest with the crazy Canadian couple, Ewa and Bart who indeed offered free accommodation to attend the 16th International AIDS Conference, Toronto. Surya learned that these crazy bikers do cross country bike ride for a good beer! We together discovered why not for a cause like HIV/AIDS??? Being that was a big challenge and thrill for us to be ever first time as bikers to bicycle such a freaking inter-Continental ride, except that we were used to bicycle in our grades 7th, 8th, 9th.. shuttling from our home to school! It was also first time for us to land in United States of America with little acquaintance but rode confidently all along all kinds of routes, lanes of freeways, interstate highways, etc. Of course! cops have had pretty good track on us! .
