9/12/09 2009 Ride for Pride (DC/MD/VA)
9/12/09 2009 Ride for Pride (DC/MD/VA)
The 2009 Ride for Pride will be held on Saturday, September 12.
Special traffic note: When the cruise starts, the on-ramp to 495/95N has ongoing construction. The merge area is short and narrow. Be alert and safe while merging. There will be plenty of time to get back in line once on the highway.
This event is held in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area...Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C.
2009 will mark the 8th year of the Ride for Pride. For those unfamiliar with this cruise, it's purpose is to remember all who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. It also holds the purpose of expressing our support and gratitude to all the men and women of this nation's armed forces, who right now are ensuring that we have the right, and the freedom, to conduct this event.
This event was conceived in 2002, by D. Charleton (Terminator X), and with the assistance of M. Gonzales (Gonzo) and C. Pryce. The first Ride for Pride (RFP) had about 10 vehicles in attendance. This event has grown with each year that passes. The 2008 RFP had over 90 vehicles in attendance, including members from F-Body Hideout, Eastern F-Body Association, LS1Tech, LS1.com, LS1GTO, CCGTO, SRT Forums, and others.
The following is the video from the 2006 5th Annual Ride for Pride, as done by Joe Goss (Wreck):

I remember you. I came over and talked to you. I had my 07 SRT8 Charger as my wife and I had our friend with us. Could not stuff her into the trunk! Ha! Not sure which we'll bring this year. Hope to see you there again.

Try and get over to the Chris Dodge Memorial Ride. It's for the founder of XFis wife. JD Dodge had a beautiful TorRed roadster with chrome stock wheels. When he saw my SRT8 he traded the Xfire for a TorRed SRT8 CHarger. Check out the thread under the northeast forum I believe.

Are you in Paul's group too? I think I joined the forum a while back to get more info, but I haven't been on there in probably close to a year.
I will be there, my wife is planning to to be at the rally in DC, so she will probably not be there. I may not get there in time for the barbecue though, besides I am a vegetarian!
Re: 9/12/09 2009 Ride for Pride (DC/MD/VA)
Due to construction on the Capitol Beltway, the directions to the staging area via I95 North have changed. The new directions are posted below.
Directions to the staging area from I95 North: Take Exit 173 Van Dorn Street and turn left at the light at the top off the hill. Get into the right lane. Proceed to the bottom of the hill, going under the Interstate and under the train tracks, and turn right at the first traffic light onto Eisenhower Avenue. Cameron Run Park will be on the left about 1.8 miles up.
Special traffic note: When the cruise starts, the on-ramp to 495/95N has ongoing construction. The merge area is short and narrow. Be alert and safe while merging. There will be plenty of time to get back in line once on the highway.
