Riders bike last 545 miles in 31-year-old fundraiser for HIV/AIDS support

The 31-year-old AIDS/LifeCycle ride held its final seven-day, 563-mile fundraising event from San Francisco to Los Angeles in June 2025.
Organizers ended the ride due to rising event costs exceeding 50% and a drop in ridership after a two-year COVID-19 hiatus.
This year, about 2,000 cyclists, mainly from California, rode an extra 20 miles past affected routes, supporting local businesses and visiting a rural school called Bradley.
Participants and crew members contributed more than $17.2 million this year—the second-highest total in the event’s history—bringing the cumulative funds raised since 1994 to upwards of $300 million for organizations supporting HIV/AIDS.
After the final ride concludes, both organizations behind the event will introduce new three-day cycling fundraisers in their respective areas starting in 2026 to sustain support for their cause.
