American Legion Riders Chapter 10
The American Legion Riders are a dedicated and enthusiastic group of the American Legion Family. The American Legion Riders was formed: 1) to promote the aims and purposes of the American Legion, 2) to promote motorcycle safety programs, and 3) to provide a social atmosphere for The American Legion as a family oriented motorcycling activity for members of The American Legion family. The American Legion Riders upholds the declared principles of The American Legion as well as conforms to and abides by the regulations and decisions of the post, department, and national organization.
The American Legion Riders is not a motorcycle club (M/C). We do not practice M/C rules and regulations. Post 10 has a committed group of riders that brings a diverse group of members together with the goal to serve and ride.

The Post 10 American Legion Riders (ALR) completed their Welcome to Winter Polar Bear Ride on January 15th. The temperature when the Riders left the Post was 24 degrees. They followed a 22 mile route to the Texas Roadhouse in Chantilly but it was closed due to mechanical problems. Being the improvising, adaptive folks that they are, the Riders went across the street to a Mexican restaurant and warmed up there with a hearty meal. They then rode back home with the temperature having warmed up to balmy 27 degrees. Congrats to the following nine Riders who made the ride:
1. Paul "Cheeks" Giovanni
2. Greg "Speedy" Neiss
3. Carl Carey
4. Tim Jones
5. Andrea Jones
6. Bob "Lambchop" Lamoureux
7. Denise "Exodus" Lamoureux
8. Brian Means
9. Bob "Nitro Bob" Ficken
The next scheduled ride is the Freeze Your Ass Off Polar Bear Ride on Saturday February 12th, with the final Good Bye to Winter Polar Bear Ride being on March 5th. Riders who make all three Polar Bear rides are eligible for the Post 10 ALR Polar Bear Patch and Year Rocker. In addition to the Polar Bear Rides, the Riders will be participating in the Manassas St. Patrick's Parade to be held on Saturday, March 12th. The Riders will then celebrate the end of winter with the End of Winter Pub Crawl on March 26th starting at the Three Monkeys at 17:00. All are welcome to join the Riders as they prove that “not all who wander are lost.”
