The Underwear Ride
What is an Underwear ride, you ask?
It’s a way for us, as riders, to give back to the community. We can do this by donating new, unopened packages of undergarments to the less fortunate. The reason for donating undergarments is because it seems that everybody has donated used clothing to shelters before, but how many of you have donated your used underwear? I really hope everybody says no to that last question.
Undergarments are cheap and easy to carry on a motorcycle. For less than $15, you can buy two packages of some type of undergarment. You can then stuff them into your jacket or in you tank bag and ride to donate them.
This ride has a few benefits.
1. We get to, as a group, give back to the community.
2. We get to help others that are not nearly as fortunate as we are.
3. We get to ride!
Now for the Info…
Date: Saturday, Dec. 15th (average high temp in NOVA is 47 degrees).
Time: Start meeting at 11:00am. We will leave promptly at 12:00pm
Meet location: Pan-am Shopping Center at the corner of route 29 (Lee Highway) and Nutley Street.
Ending location: Starbucks, 1040 Elden street Herndon, VA
The Charity: Reston Interfaith - www.restoninterfaith.org
Ride Sponsors: Fast Lane Cycles

The Route: We will leave the Pan-am shopping center heading north on Nutley St., merging on to route 66 west, and continuing to route 28 North. We will take 28 North to VA606 East to Elden street. After the right turn onto Elden, we will enter the parking lot for Starbucks on the right.
The Rules: Bring at least one package of new, unopened undergarments. This includes underwear (men’s, woman’s, or children’s), under shirts, long johns, socks, and anything else along that line. There will be absolutely NO Stunting or Stupid riding. If you can not keep yourself under control, don’t come. This ride is meant to help shed a better light on to bikers in general, not make us look bad.
This is a great opportunity for us to give back to the community. I hope many of you can make it out and make it a huge success in the process.

RE: The Underwear Ride
That's a great idea! It might interest you to know that one of the Red-Sox wives (Mrs. Kurt Schilling) runs a similar charity event here in the new England area for a Red-Sox "day" and they focus on socks. Everyone who comes to the game brings a new pair or bag of warm white socks with them.
Who donates socks?! But are homeless need them badly.
It's 20 degrees here at my house in Massachusetts this morning. I had both woodstoves stoked last night and my family was toasty warm. Unfortunately not everyone is so lucky and in Boston and Worcester and Springfield and cities and towns all over the US there are people living in cardboard boxes, and sleeping on heating grates and maybe sneaking into all night Dunkin' Donuts or small ATM vestibules just to stay out of the cold and the wind and the snow and the rain.
It's a terrible problem and I know it's simplistic to ask when we are going to start taking care of our own, but damn it, we should be doing things much better at home.
God bless the people that work with our homeless through this time of year.
...and great idea for a ride!!
