FDNY "Thank You America" Tour Visits DC
November 14, 2001

New York Fire Dept. firefighters and their support team arrived at DC Fire Dept. Engine Station 12 for a lunch break before biking to Manassas where they'll spend the night. They had started in Baltimore this morning so they had already ridden 50 miles when they cruised in to D.C.

The Babes helped welcome them to D.C. and joined them in their ride to the Pentagon.

Read more about their ride across America at www.firehouse.com. The Washington Post has an article about this day (and mentions the Babes) here

See the pictures!

This is one of the two signs the Babes brought.
Both were made by Maria who created the Babes' logo
and has created all of our wonderful posters over the
last two years.

Sal, Drew, Dan, and Ralph accept a Babes on Bikes shirt from Beth who literally donates the shirt off her back.

Dan thanks the Babes on Bikes. (Matt needs a carbo-boost!)
