Another Reston social ride

This morning we joined a social ride sponsored by the Reston Association Pedestrian & Bicycling Advisory Committee. Burton Griffith of the PBAC led the short, 7-mile ride through north Reston neighborhoods. Also along were Nicole Wynands of the PBAC, Kerie Hitt of FABB, and a family from the Fairfax City area.

While we were waiting to start another rider stopped by to say hi. He was with a group of neighbors and their kids who do an annual Thanksgiving Day ride from the South Lakes area.

Thanksgiving rides have become somewhat of a tradition in this area. bikes@vienna has been holding their Guilt Reduction ride for many years. Riders bring canned food to donate to the CHO Food Drive. It's a great way to start your day before feasting on all the holiday treats. Happy Thanksgiving!

Update: See the WTOP report on one of the bike rides that converged on the Town Center yesterday. Here's the video clip:
