I keep a spare bra/underwear in with my hygeine supplies in a desk drawer. They are underneath, way in the back. I'm a little nervous, though, because every other Wednesday the child psychiatrist who helped me get this job uses my office and we share the desk drawers. He does not use the drawer with my stuff. He's a kindly man in his seventies, and I don't think he'd be freaked out by seeing a bra, but still...
When I was teaching, I had a stand alone closet with one side where you could hang stuff, with a shelf above. The other side was for book storage. I kept lots of stuff there, a strapless bra that could be worn with anything, a pair of black flats, a black jacket, and hygeine stuff. I was always freaked out when I would open the closet to get books out. The bra and such were hidden, but not totally out of sight. No students ever saw it, though!

:D too funny. I usually remember the underwear and forget the bra, which for me is worse as I have to wear the sweaty sports bra, ick

I usually do keep spare underwear in my work backpack. Unfortunately, I don't have it when I commute, because I can't keep the pack on the bike. (I use Revelate Viscacha. Which I love love love).

Okay. So underwear, towels, maybe an extra outfit. The weather has been crazy, I dressed for cold weather, and it's hot now! (Well, cold is relative. I'm about 70 km north of Savannah, GA. You know, I like cold weather better, I grew up in NE Iowa. Very close to Minnesota. Maybe I should move to Norway? (Does Norway have easy immigration? Only half-kidding here. Well, maybe just a visit).

This is what my honey has; when she starts to telecommute it's going to become a work clothes locker with spare professional wear and her winter coat/boots/gloves/hat.

You could put them in a large envelope, or even in one of those white mesh bags that you can buy for washing delicates -- then no one but you would know they were there.

(I bought a few extra mesh bags last year, and use one to store my booties and toe covers between rides. I don't wash them every time I use them, and I figure the bottoms are unclean since I walk in restrooms and portapotties with them on, so I like to keep them separate from the other clothes in my Big Bag of Winter Bike Gear.)

Pride SF; where are you staying? If you're staying in the East Bay (generally cheaper and easier to park) a lovely thing is to take BART to the parade. The atmosphere on the train is great. Be sure to check the routes so you don't end up at the station that does not have the SF line on Sundays etc. :p

Exit at Embarcadero and get there early. I like to walk around the parade staging areas. You'll want to get back to Market a little before the parade start and find a spot. The roar of the motorcycles is not to be missed. Have fun. Bring sunscreen.

Won't know where we'll staying until the conference registration opens in January, we have to stay in one of the approved hotels. Once I know I'll be bugging you for tips and tricks! :p

ETA - HOLY COW, that's a lot of bikes!!!! I don't think there's that many women riders in this entire state.

Ok so you want to see a redwood? Many great places to hike, Santa Cruz is nice and we'll discuss that. I like Armstrong Redwoods. So you could plan to go there and tour the Russian River areas.

Have to see if we can rent a car and take some time away from SF. She is usually swamped at conferences... so if we don't have car transport, are there any redwoods to see via bus/train?

We know some people in Marin that we might be meeting up with, if we make it up there that seems kinda close.

Muir can be tourist heavy during the middle of the day but it's close for just a quick trip to hug a redwood :)....for a longer day trip I'm with Trek420 about going farther north ......actually I'd take a couple of more days and head to the Redwood National Park for old growth redwoods.

the DOB's always lead the parade....they have a party at the El Rio on Saturday afternoon and that's the place to find someone to ride on the back of their bike if you want to do that

Speaking of bikes, I've thought about renting a bike from Dubbleju to see some of the city, I could easily run up the coast if Mary is in meetings all day!
