Tweed Ride Sept 11, 2011
By Jove, where does time go?
It's getting closer to tweed season, and here's a jolly good film from Kristen Andrews from last years tweed ride, which is very enjoyable with a cup of tea. Spot on!

"A study of my wheels as transportation ( part 2 my Bicycle!) Filmed in 2010 during the 'Tweed Ride' on the day of Ciclovia in Winnipeg, MB. Entered into the 'One Take Super 8' Festival. Filmed by hand held vintage super 8 camera."

Tweed Ride Sept 11th, 2011
Tally Ho! The date for 2011 has been set for Sunday September 11th, 2pm, and the Tweed Ride will now be part of Ciclovia, which is now part of www.manyfest.ca with the Winnipeg Downtown Biz. The ride will follow last years route from the Assiniboine Park Pavilion to Broadway, roughly 10km at a very leisurely pace.
Also being planned is a heritage bike block, essentially a 'show and shine' for vintage bikes, so bring yours down, or join the Tweed Ride for a smashing time.
Dalnavert is also involved in Ciclovia this year, so plan for croquet and a picnic on the Dalnavert lawn after the ride. And perhaps a musical treat with a bluegrass band on the veranda in the afternoon?

Free Press Article and Tweed
By jove, a spanking good article on the tweed ride in the Free Press: Trade Shorts for Knickerbockers
A couple of last minute items, Woodcock Cycle has graciously donated some prizes to give away at the end of the ride. Suggested categories: Best Argyle socks, Best outfit, male/female and well, I'll think of a few more by Tweed ride time! Stick around to meet at King's Head to find out the winners after 6pm..
The weather looks very Tweedy for tomorrow as well, an excellent forecast.
Ok final words: gathering starts at 1.30- ride starts at 2pm! We will have fine Banjo tunes to get us in the Tweed frame of mind before the start, courtesy of Tim Osmond. Just meet at the front of the pavilion, and when you see Tweed, you know you found the right place.
