December 13th. We had great weather. Initial estimates were 900-1000 bikes in parade and of course plenty of non-parade folks. This is a wonderful thing for needy families and casts the Marines in a very favorable light. It was an short 10-12 mile escorted ride with tons of LEOs blocking and riders blocking lesser intersections. Line of bikes took up a LOT of real estate. If you have not ridden in a Toys for Tots, jump on the next chance as it feels really good..... John
