No, it shouldn't be junk but I have, for instance, some winter cycling gear that I haven't worn in awhile. I'm going to go through my stuff to see what I have that will benefit these guys.

If anyone is not sure about what they will take, you can always call Robert Irwin and ask.

Tony,

I am not quite sure what would be appropriate to their needs. I have so much "stuff" in a big box in my garage from bike repairs, or, stripped down bikes (chain rings, bottom brackets, pedals, handle bars, break levers, etc...) that Geoff and Gary have done over the years. Since Grace and I will be moving I need to get rid of all of this.

Also, I have the Cannondale that Geoff turned into a TT bike, and, I might part with my fixed gear (which sounds like something for the Marines!), once again built for me by Geoff.

I am sure that no-one wants any of my old helmets (cracks and all), or shoes.

You did say anything for our Marines, and I fully agree, but, it should not be junk.

Rick

I was just thinking that we could instead have a Gyro pickup that everyone can drop off their extra gear off too. Maybe we can do it at one or more of the rides. Maybe we can keep it going for a couple of weeks and gather any extra clothing that no one needs any more. I can contact Robert Irwin and let him know what we are doing. I figure that this way, he dosen't have to make extra trips for picking up whatever the Gyros have and are willing to donate.

For weekday rides leaving from the Trek Store, we can keep a box there for clothing and gear drop offs.

If you guys feel that this is a great way to do this, please let me know and I'll organize it with Robert.

FYI - I will not be riding this weekend so, if we proceed with this, the ride leaders for this weekend can gather what you have and they can give it to me.

Thanks,
Tony

  G's,

This sounds like a really great cause. (Please read the attached letter).

  Help out if you can.  You can contact Robert Irwin directly.

  Anything for our Marines!

  Tony
