Former Redskin Hosts Charity Ride At Del Ray Business

ALEXANDRIA, VA—With Christmas just days away, you might try to get some workouts in before those huge holiday feasts. You might as well do one workout with a local sports legend. Former Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss will be holding a charity ride at Ascend Cycle in Del Ray on Monday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m.

The "Sleigh Ride with Santana Claus" is a 50-minute ride of sprints and climbs on indoor bikes. Participants will work in two zones, a training zone and a peak zone.

The event benefits his nonprofit 89 Ways to Give, which aims to "inspire hope, create everlasting bonds, enhance quality of life and empower everyone" in his home of Northern Virginia. The name is derived from the number 89 he wore as a Redskins player. Moss played for 14 years in the NFL, 10 of those being in Washington.

Following the ride, Charlie's on the Avenue will host Moss for a charity happy hour with happy hour specials. The business will donate 20 percent of all bar proceeds during Monday Night Football to 89 Ways to Give.

Anyone interested in attending the charity ride can visit ascendcycle.com/buy-classes and make a donation to book their place for the Sleigh Ride.

Ascend Cycle is located at 2413 Mount Vernon Avenue. Charlie's on the Avenue is located at 1501 Mt Vernon Avenue.
