Bear 🐻 Week 2026 is a wrap! Once again PTown has been such a blast hanging out with the Boyfriend and with all the old and new friends made along the week! Can’t wait for next year’s adventure! Time for this (bear, cub, otter?) to hibernate until the next adventure. #ptown #provincetown #bearweek2026 #gay

CRO - CTZ
A year ago today, I rode my first and last AIDS/Lifecycle. The experience was life-changing and I knew I needed to come back. This year, the ride looked a little different. Two new rides carry on its spirit. I had the privilege of participating in the inaugural rides of both @lalgbtcenter Center Ride Out and @sfaidsfound Cycle to Zero. It was incredible and I have so much to be thankful for:
1. @centerrideout & @cycletozero - Thank you continuing the legacy of ALC and creating spaces for the love bubble to live on.
2. Chain Gang – We showed up! Thank you for being such an amazing group to train and ride with.
3. @claytonyeung & @mrsamelucas – I had so much fun organizing and running Chain Gang training with you two. We pulled off something pretty cool!
4. @augusto_j_f_4 - You were my first TRL! Riding into the finish with you and Chain Gang this year (and last) was very special.
5. @doreencgonzales - Thank you for being the best, for always watching out for me and taking care of me and everyone in this community.
6. @jerhob – Thanks for inviting me onto Lavender Scare and for crazy adventures whether they’re on a bike or at a rave.
7. Lavender Scare – I love our CRO team! All rides need to end in a wine down.
8. Outspoken - You all make me proud to wear the kit. Glad I got to ride CTZ with you all!
9. Riders - Thank you for riding. @moncar.2 for being my CRO century-crushing buddy, @aralosangeles, for lending me your bike and shoes, @arieatworld for pulling me through CTZ Day 2! I’m amongst incredible company.
10. Roadies & Crew – Thank you for all your incredible hard work making these rides possible.
11. @_alexandfriends – My favorite roadie. I’m glad I got to do this with you.
12. Sweeps – Thank you for the many times you saved me: Nice Cream (Jocelyn & Christen), Lumberjack (Alex & Dan), Coach (@bass0929 & Trevor), Mrs. Roper (Chris & Greg), Butterfly (@thaliadlt & Dean).
13. @aaron.d.runner & @runner.joebean – We made CRO & CTZ Run Club happen!
14. Those we ride for – We keep riding for those who can’t, and for those who come after.
15. My friends and family - Thank you for always showing up to support me.
16. My heart is full.

Cycle to Zero 2026. A beautiful reminder that the fight against HIV/AIDS continues strong, the love bubble lives on and that Northern California is home to some of most beautiful scenery for cycling. An amazing experience getting to be part of this inaugural ride for @sfaidsfound. Missed this community so much!

Thank you @davidahveed for your support in helping me participate this year and to @jeeriv for being the best camp partner and pushing me to be a better cyclist — love you, Papis! @puropinchepapi

Swipe for some of my favorite moments with some other amazing riders and thank you to my tribe for holding me down! See y’all next year!

My heart is so full!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support PridePlay Foundation at the Long Beach Pride Parade. Seeing my community show up, stand proud, and walk alongside me and this dream means more than I can put into words.

Remeber that this is bigger than just one day, this is love, visibility, and creating space for our youth to feel seen, safe, and celebrated. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you who made this moment unforgettable.

We’re just getting started!

Day 3 …. From Temecula base camp to San Diego County !! Those mountains were something 🥵 but that coastal ride was something else 🥰. Thank you to all the riders and your support because we did it !!! Love to my mamacitas chingonas @americathebeautiful13 @marisol_tejeda_salgado and my @ahfcares Wolfpack ! Si se pudo !!!! Thanks @centerrideout !!

Fun fact: When I did the @aidslifecycle in 2023 from San Francisco to Los Angeles, I remember saying I can cycle all the way to San Diego because I felt so strong when I finished that ride. fast forward to this weekend. I did just that. I didn’t feel as strong as I did back then but mentally I pushed through and I’m so proud of that. To be able to say that I’ve been able to ride my bike from San Francisco California to San Diego California, is pretty amazing. 🏅💪🏽🚴🏼🌹✨☀️ SoCal Baby !! 🚲 ✨ 545+220=765 miles !!! 🥳

Center Ride Out 2026 with the Papi’s! Such a privilege to ride with a group that understands the importance of supporting Trans and Queer lives. We combat the current hateful sentiment this nation has towards LGBTQ+ lives through community. We heal, love, and move forward together. I have so much love and respect for each one of these souls. #centerideout #puropinchepapi
