Spring Is for Picnics

Without further delay, here is the poster for the next big ride -- coming up on March 28.

We'll be putting these up around town this week. If you would like a copy(ies) of your own, the downloadable PDF file is on Scribd.

Mark your calendars: February 21st! B. Spoke Tailor!

Still wondering what to wear to the next ride? Need to bounce some ideas off some tweed-y oriented fashionistas? Then we've got something for you!

Nan Eastep of B. Spoke Tailor is coming to town! Along with Lorena Beightler of SacCycleChic, Nan will be at Hot Italian on Sunday, the 21st of February from 12 noon to 4pm to show you her clothing line, take measurements, and discuss how to make your Tweed Ride wardrobe better than ever!

So come on in, grab a beer and/or a pizza, look at some great clothing, and get inspired for the next ride on March 28th!

UPDATE! Just spoke to Michael of Walz Caps; they make wonderful, timeless cycling caps, and we'll have several samples of them available for you to look at on the 21st!

Next Ride: New Year's Day!

We've received many calls and letters asking when the next ride will be, so we've put one together for New Year's Day, meeting at approximately 11:00 in the morning in East Portal Park; beforehand, Rick Mahan has graciously offered to open up One Speed for libations (the kitchen will be closed) before the ride, and we'll go from there to the meeting spot.

Instead of dressing in full regalia, let's consider this a Tweed Lite ride--more of a meeting of like-minded folks as opposed to a gathering of the Tweed Clan (the next big ride for the fully Tweeded will be in early Spring.) However, if the urge strikes, don't let me discourage you from dressing up if you wish to!

The ride will take us from our starting point to CSUS, across the bicycle/pedestrian bridge, along the bike path to Discovery Park, through Old Town--we'll grab something to eat then--and up through Capitol Mall to finish up (and yes, Tony, I'll see if the Shady Lady will be open!) Lol!

Like before, we ask that everyone be open to last-minute changes (check back on the site often, or click on the RSS feed) with regards to the route or to the weather. Everyone who left their e-mail address at the Ride will be receiving a note in the next couple of days.

Let me know if you have any questions, and we wish everyone the merriest of holidays.

Hot Off the Presses

And now this little event feels official indeed.

Should you be tempted to print off a few and distribute among your fine chaps, you'll find a link in the sidebar to the snappy PDF version.

Cheers!
