Cycling clothing- have enough, no need

[Trek420]

for those of you with too much, you might think of donating or giving away extras to cyclists who can't afford as much. I live in the sf bay area, and I give my extras to AIDS Lifecycle riders who can't afford a whole closet full of bike clothes. You could even send them to AIDS Lifecycle. They have a clothing swap which really helps people out. We even gave a bike to a rider who really couldn't afford a good one.
You could send them to Russ Mendevil

Since the ride is a week long, people generally like to have a jersey and shorts for every day because washing stuff during the ride is very difficult.

Thanks for the reminder. I've lost weight/inches since moving North. This is a good reminder to go through the wardrobe. There's plenty that's too loose and baggy now. If so I will box up a care package.

I remember how tough it was to afford gear for the ride. Cycling is an expensive sport although there are ways to do it cheaply and well. Of course it saves money too. At the time I did the rides I lived alone having just gone through a tough break up. Going from being a DINK (double income no kids) to a SINK was a struggle.

Russ is a wonderful guy! We led training rides together. Well he led a lot more of them than I.

Tell him I said "hi" and that jerseys from me may be on the way.
