How can it be over?

Hello its Rylo I am back. Sorry for the delay I had to do famous person stuff–its not always easy. But, the break has given me time to reflect on the trip which was such a whirlwind of drama/fun and epic new highs. The Ryloride Series is becoming very popular amongst the Celebrity Crowd–as you all know–so we might even get some new High Profile Celebrities to join us next year. It would be pretty hard to beat this years team, I am well aware, but I always strive to better the experience for all so lets just see what happens for Ryloride 5 The Anniversary Edition!

Quite a few of you noticed on my post of the Paparazzi photo that I was recently in Beverly Hills….why you ask? Well the Mayor of Beverly Hills hosted the Executive Committee for Ryloride in order to try and get us to move to BH from SM….Given the popularity of the Ryloride Franchise many cities are eager to host us due to the tourist dollars we bring in. We agreed to meet but have NOT committed to the location of RR5..other famous locations are bidding for our event…Milan..France..Barcelona..

I am getting ahead of myself, lets finish up RR4 and not day dream too much. All of the participants of RR4 agreed that this ride kicked butt in every regard EXCEPT for me smacking into the pavement on mile 8 and bouncing along the asphalt leaving behind chunks of skin and my pride….however that was the ONLY bad part and it was mainly bad for me! Yes, I still hurp in certain places–my wipeout 3 months ago was the same thing only I landed on my left side vs my right this time so I gots all sorts of hurts going on but I muscled through with the support of my teammates and friends…the All Star Edition Cast. Here Bobby Prepares my leg for a few “field” stitches and then he forced me to give him a thumbs up even though I didn’t feel so great I think he did it for liability reasons…

On the ride we brought together a new Father and a new Grandfather (not the same person!), a Rock Star/Artist, a Hedge Fund Titan, the Worlds Best Stratergist, The Worlds Greatest Rates Boss, 2 Famous Money Managers, a former Elite Soldier/Pro Athlete and current Entrepreneur, and, Me, The Rylo. Throughout our journey we preached what I addressed at the beginning–love,  acceptance and inclusion– some of the main mantras of the Ryloride Franchise and The Ryles Institute:

Dont hate, love! Remember the Black and White Cookie! We loved our time on the ride as it gave us a chance to do a cool thing, act like children, eat too much,  hang with a great group of interesting people and overall just have a dandy time from LA to Del Mar.

I could go on and on because we had such a great time on the trip but I think that would be repetitive at this point so lets get to some of my favorite pictures from the ride (and beyond) along with whatever interests me and call it a day! First I start with Shred and I at the Canary Challenge a Charity Ride where we were the Celebrity Guests of Honor-Here we are coming across the finish line first   sporting our RR Jerseys (they use the same blowup thingy for start and finish) :

Some animals up on Diablo I saw doing my work for the State Parks: A family of 4 Bobcats and Mandango which is a rare creature that is part rat/part kangaroo and part wild boar.

Wait that last one  is me in 8th grade! I was one heck of a good dog in the school play.

Here we have Nathan telling me I am up for the Pulitzer in the Blogumentary category! I wasn’t surprised but acted so:

You can see Bobby’s mirror reflection which seems like a sign from the Big Fella…it sort of felt like a Greater Being was watching over us the whole trip (except when I bit it and bounced along the pavement)…mabye I am just imagining it…..wait

And look what some of my Team left on Bill Walton’s Bar that night…I wonder if he will call me? Wait, I am unlisted! DOH!

And lets not forget our other Pulitzer Entry:

Until next time.  The End.
